Designing a diving platform requires a careful approach to safety, structural engineering and the specific needs of users. Here is a general guide to help you design a diving platform:

Define Usage and Users:

• Determine the intended use of the platform (for example, recreational use or diving competitions).
• Consider the age and abilities of users to adapt the design to their needs.

Establish the Dimensions and Height of the Platform:

• Decide on the overall size of the platform based on available space and user needs.
• Determine the heights available for dives, taking into account the different abilities of users.

Choose the Appropriate Materials:

• Uses water and corrosion resistant materials.
• Stainless steel, aluminum, or treated wood are often common choices.

Design the Support Structure:

• Use CAD design software to create a solid and stable structure.
• Consider including vertical supports, cross beams, and diagonal bracing to ensure structural strength.

Platform Surface:

• Opt for a non-slip surface to avoid accidents.
• Add raised edges to prevent accidental drops.

Integrates Additional Features:

• Include height-adjustable trampolines if appropriate.
• Add handrails on both sides of the platform for easy entry and exit.

Plan Location and Installation:

• Consider the position of the platform in relation to the surrounding environment (pool, lake, etc.).
• Make sure the installation complies with local regulations on the safety and use of diving facilities.

Safety:

• It integrates safety elements, such as handrails, signs and non-slip surfaces.
• Subject the design to a safety review and verify that it complies with local regulations.

Test and Evaluation:

• Subject the project to load tests and verify its stability.
• Evaluate safety and functionality through simulations or prototypes.

Maintenance:

• Schedule periodic maintenance to ensure the lifespan of the platform.
• Periodically checks compliance with safety regulations.

Regulatory Compliance:

• Make sure the design complies with local and national dive facility safety regulations.

Be sure to involve qualified professionals in the design process to ensure the safety and compliance of your project.
