The operative word here is "high" dive. 8' is the normal depth for an average pool with or without a dive board. With most dive boards in residential pools the depth would be closer to 9' or 10'. I am not certain as to the depth of a high dive platform but my thinking would be in the range of 20' deep. There are specific engineering figures on Olymmpic type pool measurements.
In diving events the highest diving platform is 10 metres high, the water is at least 16 feet deep, even at that depth I go all the way down to the bottom of the pool.

What is the difference between a platform and a plank?
The platform is a series of statements expressing the party's principles, beliefs, and positions on election issues. The plank is each individual part of the platform. That would be the correct answer in a political arena.
As far as the sport of diving goes, a platform refers to a solid, elevated surface with a foundation underneath it that a person dives from...a plank is a rectangle shaped board (usually spring) that extends out over the water that a person dives from (or walks off as in the case of most pirate ships.)
When you dive into the water do the bubbles carry you to the surface?
No but they give you added buoyancy.
What is the significance of the fountains of water underneath the diving platforms?
FINA rules for diving pools:
FR 5.3.10 Mechanical surface agitation shall be installed under the diving facilities to aid the divers in their visual perception of the surface of the water. In pools equipped with an underwater bubble machine, the machine should only be used for this purpose if it creates sufficient water agitation when working with a very low pressure; otherwise a horizontal water sprinkler system should only be used.
