Are diving boards allowed in CA?
Stricter pool regulations, especially those concerning minimum depth requirements, profoundly affect the legality and feasibility of installing diving boards. California enforces codes mandating significant pool depth—usually around 8 to 9 feet—to safely accommodate diving board use. In technical diving, a depth below about 60 metres (200 ft) where hypoxic breathing gas becomes necessary to avoid oxygen toxicity may be considered a deep dive. In professional diving, a depth that requires special equipment, procedures, or advanced training may be considered a deep dive.Technical diving is a more complex, and challenging, form of scuba diving. Technical divers rely on specialized training, equipment, and mixed gases to safely descend beyond the recreational limit to depths that can exceed 90 meters (300 feet).The rule advises that the dive depth (in feet) in addition to the time a diver spends underwater (in minutes) should add up to no more than 120. The purpose of this rule is to help scuba divers to avoid serious dangers such as nitrogen narcosis as well as decompression sickness by keeping them within a safe range.The rule advises that the dive depth (in feet) in addition to the time a diver spends underwater (in minutes) should add up to no more than 120.

Deeper pools cost more to build, require more water and chemicals, and are harder to keep heated. And funny enough, the “scary deep end” doesn’t even get used much. Most swimmers—especially kids—tend to stay where they can comfortably stand. Depths greater than eight feet are not common in residential pools due to increased construction and maintenance expenses. However, building a very deep pool is not impossible and you can discuss this option with your pool builder to get more details.Deep Dive Dubai is a 60-metre (200 ft) deep diving pool in Dubai.
