no diving

Shallow water warning

No diving is a warning prohibiting headfirst entry into water, typically posted at pools or beaches where the water is too shallow for safe diving.

The phrase appears on signs near the water's edge: The no diving sign was barely visible through the rust.

Ignoring it risks spinal injury or death.
