Your topic about 1800poolsblog.com » Safety Tips When Considering a Diving Board is very interesting to me I found it very useful in me making a decision about buy wall water fountains thanks
I Can’t find my answer in all this diving board info.
I did learned that it is important to know how deep the water is BEFORE you dive off a board. But I did not learn what depth is safe.
I want to put a 4 ft board on a floating dock,that has 7 feet of water at the edge of the dock,and progressively deeper from the edge. The board will be 2 feet above the water,and it is very stiff.
My older brother broke his c-5 and was a Quadraplegic for 11 years before dying from shallow diving off a boat. This is a big issue for me. I have had the board for two years now,but will not mount it till I have an expert opinion on depth requirements.
And I found none here,or anywhere else,so far.
Thank you for your time…d.
