Coate Water is a park in England that was built in 1820 as a feeder reservoir for the Wilts and Berks Canal. It was sold to the Swindon Corporation as a leisure facility in the early 1900's, and the diving platforms were built circa 1920. The platforms were in use until the 1950's but are no longer used for safety reasons.
Found via the Springboards And More Diving Blog, it looks like FINA recently released a newDD table. The new table includes DD calculations for new, more difficult dives that were previously thought to be beyond the limits of human capability. Now, as the international difficulty of dives increases - these "super difficult" dives are now included in the chart."With the newer and increasingly more difficult dives being performed in international competition as well as the rumors of "super difficult" dives being attempted in the farthest corners of the world, it was time that FINA updated the Degree of Difficulty Tables." (source)The new chart is also available online from FINA.org. As Steve points out, the highest calculated DD provided is for 309 Reverse 4 1/2 sommersault pike from 3m springboard: an astronomical 4.8!
