See the impact point? Not sure what you meant.
High dive record competitors were jumping into a huge tank at aquarium. There was nothing special about the point they hit other than the surface tension was being broken by sprayed water.
Maybe the effectiveness was bullcrap, but that was the justification for the spray. There is video on Youtube.
Wikipedia describes breaking the surface tension on world record attempts, too.

quote:I always thought the jet sprays of water at diving venues were so the diver knew where the surface was and could prepare to hit the water. Otherwise, as they are dropping, all they see is the bottom of the pool because of the clarity of the water. They can't tell if they are five feet off the surface or fifteen feet. With the spray disturbing the surface, they can tell how close they are and when to prepare to enter.
