You’ll need to hold your breath for this one! 

This mission is all about facing your fears and building your confidence. If you don't want to go for the big one straight away, you can always start on the lowest diving board and work your way up. 

You don’t need to be an Olympic athlete – just very, very brave. Very brave indeed.
