dive platform

Poolside jumping station

A dive platform is a rigid, flat surface at a fixed height from which divers jump or dive into water.

Unlike springboards, platforms don't flex—they're solid structures at standardized heights (typically 5, 7.5, or 10 meters in competition).

Platform diving emphasizes acrobatic technique during freefall: She competed in the 10-meter platform event.
