Answer:

All kinetic energy has been expended... That is, the max is while standing on the springboard and the minimum at the bottom of the dive. The extra energy content at the top of the board is converted into kinetic energy as the diver falls through the dive.

Answer:

The diver at the highest point i.e. at 12 m height will have maximum potential energy which will get converted to maximum kinetic energy. hence he will have the highest kinetic energy on hitting the water below.
