    As no external torque is applied, then the angular momentum is conserved.

    When the diver body is straight its moment of inertia is more and then the body is curl so that the moment of inertia decreases.

    Angular momentum is conserved, so as the moment of inertia decreases, the angular velocity increases.

    So, teh diver curls its body the angular velocity of the diver increases.
