Following the philosophy of “live and let dive”, those who indulge in a spot of leisure diving attempt to perfect the art of striking an amusing pose mid-air after jumping off a diving board. Those who have been following the craze for a while now have come to a consensus regarding the ideal pose to strike during the few seconds between leaving the diving board and splashing into the water, and it would seem that the more laid-back you can appear, the more respect you’ll gain among the leisure diving community.

Divers are also judged on how parallel their hips are to the water’s surface; wonky divers beware, you won’t be accepted into this most exclusive of comedy communities.

As well as requiring comedy timing and a touch of flexibility, leisure diving also requires you to have a friend who is more comfortable than the average Joe with a camera in hand. There are only a few seconds in the window of opportunity to get the perfect shot, so this isn’t an activity for those who only possess a disposable camera.

If planking, in your opinion, is so 2010 and you do decide to indulge in a spot of leisure diving this summer, just make sure the pool is empty before you dive in, or you may become the enemy of the poolside community!
