Cannonball (diving)
A Cannonball, also referred to as a Bomb, is a diving style where the diver hugs their knees and attempts to enter the water with their body shaped as much like a sphere as possible. The goal is to create a large splash.
Known in German as the Arschbombe the cannonball has been turned into the competitive sport of "Splashdiving".
In New Zealand referred to colloquially as a Manu in the indigenous Māori language.
