The splash pattern preceded the jump….AI is still stupid.
Edit…I was corrected.
There is a device that aids the diver…..so it’s official…..I’m stupider than AI.

Don't most high dives have either some form of aerator or water spray to allow the diver to judge their landing?
Stupid and pretty. They know their market.

Blame this on Keebie Fleniken....he got me started.
A pretty good amateur golfer started to gamble with the club pro...he couldn’t beat him.
Over the summer, he lost $3,500.
Sooo...one day he shows up with a gorilla...sez..”Wanna play my gorilla 18 holes for $5,000?
Pro sez “Sure, no gorilla’s gonna beat me.”
First hole is 400 yards, par four...pro hits his drive 310, right down the center.
Gorilla hits his drive 400 yards, 6 feet from the pin.
As they’re walking down the fairway to the pro’s ball, the amateur says “So whaddiya think of my gorilla?”
Pro says “I’ve never see anyone drive this green before.”
Amateur says “If you wanna save some money, just give me the $3,500 I’m stuck and we’ll call it off.”
Pro...”Hmmm...okay.”
On their way back to the pro shop, the pro asks “By the way, how does your gorilla putt?”
Amateur says “Same way he drives, 400 yards.”

You are absolutely right….never heard of it….us country kids diving into gravel pits from that height didn’t have that stuff.

Mar 14, 2018 — A sparger is an aeration system that is placed on the bottom of the pool directly under the diving board or platform. Air is then released to create a cushion
Thanx
Looks to me like he's got all the others fooled.
Is that Jack?
It is also to reduce surface tension and cushion the diver's impact, preventing serious injury upon entering the water at high speeds.
Water has high surface tension, making it feel like a solid surface (concrete) at high impact speeds (over 50mph from those heights).
.....and density. A given volume of water has a density much higher than that same volume with copious bubbles of air in it. It makes the deceleration take longer, and by doing that, be less traumatic for the diver/jumper.
This is also one of the theories for how ships sink in certain areas of the ocean, like the Bermuda Triangle. In those situations, it's felt that methane gas being released from the sea bed causes the change in density, and if a ship is in the area where those bubbles rise, the resulting change in density of the sea water will no longer support the ship, and it sinks, usually quite fast.
You can even make the same thing happen in sand
