A black and white photograph of a wooden platform with a diving board extension standing in semi-shallow water close to the shore in Boca Ciega Bay. There are at least 10 children around and on the platform. Two children are standing on the diving board, a loose wooden plank, while one is getting ready to jump off a higher wooden pole into the water. The coast of Gulfport and several small, wooden docks can be seen in the background.
