diving
Springboard athlete's sport
Diving is the activity of plunging into water, typically headfirst.
Competitive diving involves acrobatic maneuvers from platforms or springboards: She won gold in the 10-meter platform diving.
Scuba diving and skin diving refer to swimming underwater, often to explore reefs or wrecks.
In sports like soccer, diving means faking a foul by falling dramatically: The referee ignored his obvious diving.
