The prank involves diving into a pool and striking a leisurely pose before hitting the water. And, of course, punters must capture their "chilled out" airborne state on camera. With the motto, "live and let dive", website LeisureDive.com is inspiring pranksters to strike amusing split-second poses before splashing into a body of water or falling onto a soft landing. The ideal pose is apparently best achieved with a diving board, giving divers enough air-time to get their hips parallel to the waterline.

Already the website has been inundated with photo submissions from around the world, as word of the craze — which will inevitably be touted as the new 'planking' — spreads.

Leisure diving is similar to "Floating" invented by a Japanese girl. She took many floating photos. Jetsetter, have you heard of that girl?
