Not So Secret Dive Spot
This was a difficult dive mostly because it is a blind jump. You have to guess where the beams are so you can avoid them.
Suggest viewing YouTube vids to get a general idea of where you need to jump off the platform. Another suggestion is to place a personal waypoint in the pool to give yourself a reference point.
Compared to Dry Top it’s rather straightforward. If you stand on the center of the platform, goggles in front of you. The spot to jump is 90° to the left. Right where the blue laser beams start. Don’t jump, just drop down and steer a bit left at once. There is a plank below. If you passed that it’s only straight downwards.
Aside from getting help from double mesmers (mimic + portal, to help you get back up), there’s another trick you can try: follow the leader; find someone good at the dive and:
- Target the ‘expert’
- Have someone countdown from 3.
- Expert begins just before ‘go’; you start just after.
- Follow them down (if they go splat, stop following!)
I have tried this successfully (as follower and leader) for other dives, including dry top, silverwastes, VB, etc and it works surprisingly well (assuming the ‘expert’ knows the dive well).
Good luck!
