How many meters deep is an Olympic diving pool at minimum?

Background

An Olympic diving pool is at least five meters deep. From the ten meter platform divers hit the water at about 55 kilometers per hour. Without that depth the risk of injury would be far too high. Under the surface bubbles are often blown in to soften the impact.
