TikiBob......our deep-end is 5'.....no problem diving off raised spa level. If you want a diving board the city will require a deeper pool. My mom can't swim and was afraid of her 8' deep pool. She likes being able to walk into ours since it is not over her head. Also heats up faster. Heed BwanaTiki's wisdom regarding pool "builders". Many do none of the work and sub it all out with minimal supervision. I would recommend a hands on (ie:expensive) builder if you have the bucks, or contract it yourself (if you have the time).
I spent more time supervising their subs than I should have, and they still sucked. Give me a call and I can lead you in the right direction. A freeform shape is a lot easier and forgiving thing for them to handle, they seem to have difficulty with a straight line!
