Darren Taylor, 47, calls himself Professor Splash and is the king of shallow diving. He set a world record by diving 35 feet, 4 inches into what looks like a kiddie pool filled with 12 inches of water.

Check out this video.

According to a story in the Daily Mail, he has never been injured in a shallow dive, but has broken his heels, ankles, teeth and jawbone in other high dives.

Here's the story.
