The gravitational potential energy from stepping up and onto the board depends on the height of the step and the mass of the person. It is given by the formula PE = mgh, where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height of the step.
Assuming that the two are the same man ... the man diving from a 10 meter board would have five times the potential energy as the man on the 2 meter board. The energy is directly proportional to the height.
The force of gravity increases your potential energy as you increase your distance from the Earth's surface. Therefore, when you climb to the top of a diving board you have more potential energy due to gravity than you had on the ground.

No, a swimmer standing on a diving board is an example of potential energy, as the swimmer has the potential to move and convert that stored energy into kinetic energy once they dive into the water.
Kinetic energy, and gravitational potential energy.

The diver at the top of a diving board has potential energy
The force of gravity increases your potential energy as you increase your distance from the Earth's surface. Therefore, when you climb to the top of a diving board you have more potential energy due to gravity than you had on the ground.
The higher the diving board, the more increase of potential energy.

Yes, the diver at the top of the diving board has potential energy due to their position above the ground. Once the diver jumps, this potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as they accelerate towards the water.
Potential energy acquired by the board riding up the mountain on a lift.
The change in energy of a person jumping off a rigid diving board is from potential energy at the top to kinetic energy at the bottom. At the top, the person has potential energy due to their height above the ground, which is converted to kinetic energy as they fall towards the ground.
Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy of some object. So any object in motion, has potential to be in motion, or has both has mechanical energy. Your car in motion has kinetic energy and potential for more kinetic energy in the gasoline that it runs on. So your car has mechanical energy. Or you up on the three-meter diving board at the pool have potential for kinetic energy when you take a swan dive off that board. You have mechanical energy there. But, bottom line, pretty much any object that is either in motion or can be put into motion has a form of mechanical energy.
