Ten meters, I believe. Note that in platform diving, the ten meter platform is situated over five meters (17 feet) of water, as you should ideally have half as much water available to stop you as you have air that you'll be falling through. Wear a full wetsuit and a sk8 helmet, and go for a cannonball if you decide to really go ahead and do it, that should maximaze your displacement and really slow you down compared to just trunks.

Depends on the surface area hitting the water. But a pretty basic physics problem after that. The only force acting on you is gravity, pulling you down at 9.81 m/s^2. So calculate how fast that means you'd be going right before you hit the water and then determine how much force the water wil have on you. Subtract that from your first speed and find out how deep into the water you'll get with the remaining speed. But don't forget, the amount of air in your body and other factors will throw off the result.

Air density? Wind direction? Water type (salt/fresh)? Water temp.? Water currents? You weigh 180(lbs/kilos)?
You will submerge until your natural buoyancy overcomes your
downward momentum factoring in the above variables.

thats like 60 feet up ur gay
if thats at a pool thats one crazy pool
3 meters is pretty high
if its like of a cliff or somthing or bridge i wouldn't do it if the water was less than 20 feet deep

How much water? Length of body of water X width of body of water X depth plz. Also, salt or freshwater?

we know you'll go 6...I doubt 18....in between is 12 ...I'm thinking the water should cut the speed, but can't fantom under 10 or over 15...somewhere between 11.4 and 13.8...just guessing

Just hope that there is enough water when you jump!

you did not say how deep the water was

if the pool is intended for diving from 20m, then you most likely won't hit the bottom. but 20m is really high, where are you diving in?

Pretty darn deep, I'd say.
