How do you keep from getting the "head smack" (for lack of better terms) when diving from heights? I do this at least once per summer cliff diving and would love to know how to avoid that pain again.

Sort of, but I was referring to diving in head first, as I've smacked the top of my cranium on the water pretty hard a few times. That being the case, maybe I should hold my hands more open rather than a pointed position?

Oh, and thank you very much for the response!!

. . . that wind up with stitches or dead in ditches!!!

I don't know where I learned the fingers pointed method, then again, I had the "sink or swim" technique when learning how to swim thanks to my grandfather for that one.

Well sir, I thank you again for your timely, reply and hope that this information will save me from future diving headaches, much appreciated.
