During the Waterpark Skills Timed Event, to what depth must you submerge to retrieve the 10-pound object?

This item tests your underwater retrieval ability under the Waterpark Skills Timed Event, specifically how deep you must submerge to reach a submerged object. The depth you need to submerge to is four to seven feet. That range provides enough challenge to demonstrate proper diving technique, breath control, and buoyancy management while you search and grab the 10-pound object and return safely within the time limit. Shallow depths like one to three feet or two to four feet don’t require true submersion or a full underwater search, and three to five feet, while deeper, isn’t the designated challenge depth for this task. Four to seven feet aligns with the event’s standards for testing competent underwater retrieval skills.
