	Diving - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In breath-hold diving even at shallow depths it crucial to equalize your ears by blowing gently against the roof of your mouth with your mouth and nose closed allowing air to move up in to your middle ear and equalize the pressure created by immersion.
		On the platforms, dives may occur in the four previously mentioned directions starting from either an upright (on foot) position or from a handstand.
		Diving in this sense is not as difficult as it looks; again the main barrier is psychological, as diving head-first into the surface seems likely to hurt.

	Diving - SmartyBrain Encyclopedia and Dictionary
		Dives are performed either from springboards — long, flexible planks that bend as the divers repeatedly jump on the end of the board to gain height and speed before diving — or from rigid platforms of greater height.
		Diving has several meanings: plunging deliberately or acrobatically into water, swimming while under water, and using underwater breathing apparatus (such as when scuba diving or surface supplied diving).
		Divers are judged on whether they completed all aspects of the dive, the conformance of their body to the requirements of the nominated dive, and the amount of splash created by their entry to the water (less being better).

	Great Britain Diving Federation - History of Diving
		In Europe the early platforms were temporary structures erected out of doors for the summer and then dismantled; most involved vertical ladders and were somewhat hazardous, particularly in windy weather.
		In Britain the dive was originally performed with the arms held above the head in flight, and was known as the English header; however, this proved more difficult and not so visually pleasing as the Swedish version and eventually died out.
		In summer gymnastic equipment was transferred to the beaches so that gymnasts could perform acrobatics and land in the sea.
