The Diving Board is a beautiful rock, that juts out over the Kasteelsport valley. It has a sheer drop off it and any standing on it must be done with care. Please be careful. Its very easy to get to and a lot of people know about it.

Take your time and preferablly do not jump on it or try to get one of those `in the air` shots as its very dangerous.
