Diving is an exciting water sport that involves plunging head first or feet first from various heights into the water. A skillful diver leaps from a springboard or a platform and performs daring acrobatics in the air before entering into the water. Talented divers combine strength and grace with great courage while spinning and twisting in the air.

Some divers perform trick dives at water shows, and others plunge into the water from cliffs. Such divers have great skill and daring, but they perform mostly as entertainers.
