Common Injuries:

Diving is a sport that often combines many of the techniques of both gymnastics and acrobatics.

Despite being inherently less dangerous than these two sports, it does not come without its risks.

On of the main injuries that can befall divers is the injury caused by impact with the water, known as smacking, which happens as a result of a belly flop into the water or an entrance into the water that is not clean. This will result in bruises.

There is also the risk of a diver hitting the board on a dive. While this is a less common complaint with divers, smacking the board on a descent can cause anything from a concussion to an open wound.

There have been incidents when a dive can result in broken bones, spinal injury and even death.

For this reason, it is important to purchase travel insurance to cover the sport before leaving the country.
