Question

I think of how dangerous it is and all the obscure things that cold happen, how do i get over this and back dving? I think its my age as a teen i didnt think about thinks like that

Answer 1

i think you should practice jumping in the pool normally, and start diving later,

remember, a good dive means chin facing down

Answer 2

Just try to be confident.  (Not an insult)  Also, try just jumping in from the board.  You don't have to literally dive in.
