Default PCS and going off diving boards

I am in the late stages of recovering from post concussion syndrome. Today I went off the diving board at my pool, just did dives, no flips or anything. Can the impact into the water cause another concussion or no? I still feel for but can it?

As long as you break the water with your hands, you should be OK. Just remember that a pool deck can be slippery. A fall could be trouble.
