The requirement is 22 feet over the water line, minimum. An additional requirement is the 14 feet over the diving board.


If your diving board is three feet off the water line, 22 feet is your minimum. If your diving board is 10 feet above the water line (high dive), the minimum is 24 feet above the water line.
