Please see our 10 commandments of safety before diving.

  1. Never døds alone – Always have someone nearby in case you need help.

  2. Start small and train gradually – Begin at the poolside and only go higher when you're confident in your control and technique.

  3. Check the landing zone – Ensure it's clear of obstacles, waves, or strong winds before diving.

  4. Wait for the signal – Always have someone confirm it's safe to jump.

  5. Know the height – Measure the platform height if you're unsure.

  6. Inspect the platform – Make sure it’s stable and not slippery before diving.

  7. Check water depth – Ensure a depth of at least 5 meters for dives from 10 meters.

  8. Master tricks at lower heights – Practice and perfect your moves before attempting them from higher platforms.

  9. Avoid heights over 10 meters – Even with perfect landings, the risk of injury increases dramatically.

  10. Stay fit and sober – Don’t døds if you have physical limitations or are under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.

Always prioritize safety to enjoy the thrill of døds diving!
