@drjoe_md: Diving into water of unknown depth poses significant dangers, including the risk of severe head, neck, and spinal injuries, which can lead to paralysis or even death. Hidden underwater obstacles such as rocks or debris can cause traumatic injuries. Additionally, the water’s depth may be insufficient to cushion the dive, resulting in impact with the bottom, which can be catastrophic. It’s crucial always to check the depth and clarity of the water before diving to ensure safety. #cliffdiving #hawaii #waterfall #emergencymedicine
