How to unlock the No Diving achievement in Snake Pass - Definitive Guide
This is by far a hard achievement to unlock, and requires a constant presence of Noodle's full body, which is hard as most of it is off screen. My biggest tip for the achievement will be to take your time. Don't rush a spot unless you know 100% you can do that spot without there being an error. The big tips are to use for Doodle to hold onto your tail and for Noodle to grip onto the surface he is currently climbing.
*On a side note before going through everything, if at any point you think the tail may have hit the water, or you know for sure it did, I would quit out of the level and select it again from level select.
Overall, there are 7 main bodies of water that you have to avoid. The first one is easy to avoid, as you just have to go to the left. Have Doodle lift your tail up, just in case, and make your way onto the bridge. From the bridge, go to the bit of land and climb the wall there. Again have Doodle hold your tail up and once you get to the top, you are safe to drop it and make your way to the Green Keystone.
After the Green Keystone, you will want to drop down and get ready to cross the Bamboo, but be sure Doodle is holding your tail, as this is a spot that the tail will nick the water, then cross over and go to the right after the checkpoint to avoid the water spot 4. You can climb on the wall, and once you get up there, you are safe from water until after the Red Keystone.
After the Red Keystone, take the first slide down as normal, but for the second one, you will climb over and jump down. Be sure, once again, that Doodle is holding your tail. The reason you jump down and skip the slide is that the slide will put you in the water. Follow the ledge and go up to the turn wheel, and once it is completed, make your way back towards the slide and then follow it up to the next checkpoint. Cross the new bridge, I would recommend taking your time, but my method has worked, as long as your timing and speed are on par. Continue to the Bamboo to climb up to the top area and get ready for the hardest part.
Take your time here, as getting the Yellow Keystone is a pain, and we don't want our hard work to be jeopardized by a foolish mistake. Be sure you continually wrap yourself around at the different points, as that will help keep you up and not fall into the spikes. Once you get to the end with the Yellow Keystone, wrap yourself a few times, just to be on the safe side, as Doodle will drop your tail, which in turn can fall into the water.
After the Yellow Keystone, have Doodle, once again, grab onto your tail, and jump off to the left towards the little bridge path that goes down towards the end. And here we are, the final jump, be sure that you jump far enough, and that your tail is being held by Doodle. When you make the jump, you land close enough where Doodle will drop the tail and put the Keystones into there place. With this, Doodle drops the tail around your head, keeping the length of the snake half of what it normally would be. After the cutscene, don't move until Doodle grabs the tail, and go into the portal and the achievement should pop.
Hope this helped, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask and I will do my best to explain it.

Skipping the bamboo bridge saved alot of hassle & time I found. It means you don't put yourself at risk turning the switch then crossing the bridge. Plus you also skip half of the bamboo climb leading up to the moving blocks so that's more risk averted and time saved. I got it on my first go using that method after multiple failures falling in or tail scraping the water.
If your snake head is doubling back on itself then it sounds like you haven't extended it enough below the horizontal bamboo for it to have enough slack to pull up the other side.

Thanks for uploading your video! Unfortunately, this achievement is extremely glitchy, and there's no way to know why. I deleted my solution, but this is the video of one of my runs that should have unlocked it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeO7bQbbN-E
After half a dozen perfect runs using my route, I still didn't have the achievement. You do a few things different than me, though, so I tried duplicating your route, and it still didn't work. Then I tried again, but quitting to dashboard every time I hit the water (in case there's some flag that the game isn't resetting). I got the achievement on my next run, using your route and never having touched water since starting the game. That could be it. Or it might not be. These sample sizes are just too low to debug their crappy buggy achievement.

If you're anything like me you might struggle on getting across the 3 bamboo near the end of the mission I found doing it the way in this videos was so much easier did it second try and I don't believe hitting the water droplets count as hitting the water but I can not confirm that (I can now confirm that hitting the water droplets doesn't count as hitting water)

I can confirm this works! The water droplets on the drum don't count meaning one of the hardest sections can be avoided.

Did it first try using your solution! Thanks for sharing, dude!

Level 6. Without touching the water, we collect three key stones and leave the level. When you fly over a cliff, try to slide in flight to the right side of the wall, where the hole is.
