Leisure diving is a creative photo fad that involves capturing people mid-air as they jump into a swimming pool while striking a perfectly relaxed, casual pose. Originating in 2011 on a dedicated Tumblr blog, the trend quickly went viral as enthusiasts submitted photos of themselves 'lounging' in the air—reading books, sipping drinks, or casually reclining—just moments before hitting the water. Unlike traditional diving which emphasizes form and technique, leisure diving focuses on the juxtaposition of high-action movement with a completely nonchalant attitude. It became a staple of summer internet culture, celebrated for its physical humor and the impressive timing required to snap the perfect shot of effortless cool.
