Diving , is one of the most loved fun things to do during summer at the beach, but it can cause a tragedy if done from the piers.
The piers located on the promenade of Jesolo are not structures for bathers: they are coast defence works.
The depth of the water near the piers, even with high tide, is often lower than 100 cm, for this reason a dive can become a tragedy: the strong impact with the seabed often causes damages to the spine, serious spinal marrow lesions, irreversible and highly crippling damages.
The prohibition is reported in Ordinanza n.16/2013 of the Ufficio Circondariale Marittimo (Maritime District Order) of Jesolo and in the Ordinanza del Comune di Jesolo sulle attività balneari n. 31/2016 (Order of the Municipality of Jesolo regarding bathing activities):
