Work on improving your angle
Diving is a very complicated sport and you have to work too hard to improve yourself. The most important thing in diving is the angle of the diver. Note that, if your diving angle is not accurate then you can suffer damages while entering the water from a particular height. If you ever had experience of diving from the pool deck, you will notice that if your angle is not accurate, the pool water will splash hardly on your body. Now imagine, someone diving from a height of 1m, 3m or 10m. -

Jump in the right direction
In order to prevent your ears from getting damage, you must make sure that you have jumped straight. If you jump in the wrong direction that is slightly tilted towards left or right, you are more likely to suffer from the high water pressure at the time of entering the pool. Therefore, it is of pivotal importance that you jump straight and enter the water as smoothly as possible. -
