Designated Depth Only
Dive only where depth is marked and approved — minimum 9 feet for any dive.
One at a Time
Wait until the previous diver clears the water before stepping on the board.
Never Dive Shallow
Feet-first entry only in unknown or shallow water — head-first causes spinal injury.

Safety Notes

Never swim alone — always have a spotter or lifeguard present.
Check water depth before diving — shallow water diving causes spinal injuries.
Never dive in shallow water.
