A full range of injuries are possible with diving the same as any sport. including death. a number of divers have been killed by hitting their head on the board after take off. crippling injuries that result in a person being in a wheelchair for the rest of their life is fairly common in untrained people using public diving boards.
the common injuries are sprains pulled muscles and bruises. note that injuries can occur from low heights if the entry is not correct. Also it is common for people to break their neck or back when they dive into water that is too shallow. this often happens on holidays with people diving into the sea rivers lakes etc. as well as Swimming Pools.

∙ 8y agoThere are a number of dangers present in deep sea diving. Below 100 feet (30m), divers may experience a condition called nitrogen narcosis, in which the high levels of nitrogen in the blood stream can affect brain function, causing the diver to act as if they were drunk. This can increase confusion and disorient the diver, as well as impair his or her ability to make vital decisions. At this depth, having an emergency such as equipment failure, injury or rapid tank pressure loss can be extremely dangerous, as the diver cannot get to the surface quickly enough without suffering decompression sickness ("the bends").
Further down, the diver is absorbing too much nitrogen into their bloodstream to safely dive with conventional gear. Using a cylinder of nitrox (air with a higher percentage of oxygen than normal) can allow the diver to stay at certain depths longer, but deep diving with nitrox is not advised, as oxygen poisoning can become quite dangerous. At depths below 130 feet (~40m), divers have to carefully use a mixture of oxygen, nitrogen and helium in order to breathe safely. Divers must have extensive certifications and experience in order to know how to safely dive beyond 130 feet.
