GUIDRY, Judge.

This litigation stems from a diving accident which occurred on July 8, 1979, in a creek in Grant Parish referred to as the “Three-Tunnel Swimming Hole”. Sandra Eileen LaCroix was seriously injured when she dove from the inside of a culvert into a creek which crossed Louisiana Highway 8 and struck her head either against some object in the water or the bottom of the creek. Plaintiff, Mac H. LaCroix, Sandra’s father, brought suit individually and as administrator of Sandra’s estate against the State of Louisiana, through the Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD).
