A diving board is the springboard a diver jumps from. Climb the diving board, bounce on the diving board, off the diving board.
The spring stores the diver's weight and returns it, which is what gives the height — a rigid platform is a different discipline with different heights. Many public pools removed theirs on insurance advice rather than because of accidents.
