Yes, as it says in Step 1, part 1, the pool must be deep or you risk a head or spinal injury. The Red Cross considers nine feet to be a good depth for diving if you want to be especially cautious, but the diving area in many pools is eight feet deep. Never dive into a pool that's less than eight feet deep. And if diving from the high board, the high dive must be above very deep water, since you'll be entering the water faster. The water should be at least 12 feet (3.7 m) deep, to be on the safe side.
