Five and ready to dive

What Bubby has not enjoyed was being restricted by Mommy and Daddy from jumping off the diving board on his own. Bubby has begged Mommy and Daddy again and again to be allowed to jump off the diving board like the big kids. Their response was always, "You'll get to do that when you're 5 years old."
Well, guess what? Bubby turned 5 years old this week.

Mission accomplished!
Another milestone met, another big-boy achievement checked off.
Today's question:
When did you last jump off a diving board?
