150 Questions
What is the purpose of the water stream under the platform during high dives?
According to some research on this site, it appears that the sprayer under the platform and spring boards is to aid divers in locating the surface of the pool as they approach it after leaving the board. The sprayer agitates the water so that the surface is easier to find. In short, it's a depth perception aid. FINA rules for diving pools:
FR 5.3.10 Mechanical surface agitation shall be installed under the diving facilities to aid the divers in their visual perception of the surface of the water. In pools equipped with an underwater bubble machine, the machine should only be used for this purpose if it creates sufficient water agitation when working with a very low pressure; otherwise a horizontal water sprinkler system should only be used.

How many different platforms are there in diving?
In the Olympics, and other high level diving events such as the NCAA Championships or US Diving Championships, only one platform is competed -- the 10 meter platform.
There are, however, other platform levels that are routinely used. In junior US diving or AAU meets, the 5 meter and 7.5 meter platforms are also commonly used. Divers often use these lower platforms to train, learn new dives, and brush up on basic skills. Many training pools also have a 1 meter and 3 meter platform for training purposes. Young divers can learn skills like armstands or platform take-offs from these heights. However, the 1 and 3 meter platforms are not used in competition.
Why do you need to be flexible in high diving?

How do you determine when a diving board is at the end of its life?
I am a diver and have been brought up with an outdoor pool and now have an indoor pool. If there is any cracking in the fiberglass - you can see it on the diving board about 1/2 way down - I wouldn't use it anymore. If someone goes to dive and it breaks - depending on the weight and dive they are doing at the time - it may paralize them. Thanks, The Windsor-Browns
