While taking the jump a diver slightly sonds his (or her) body in forward direction to ave some angular velocity due fo small vaotional motion gained by his body about its vottre of mass on jumping. Thus his body acquires some rotational inertia and angular momentum. During the jump diver brings his legs closer to central part of his body.
