What is "diving"?
Diving is a sport or activity where a person jumps or falls into water, often from a platform or springboard, sometimes performing acrobatic movements before entering the water. It can be done recreationally, such as jumping into a pool for fun, or competitively, where divers are judged on their technique, form, and the complexity of their dives. Diving requires control, precision, and awareness of body movements to ensure a smooth entry into the water. Competitive diving is often performed from various heights, with different types of dives that challenge both skill and creativity.
