When a diver jumps off a diving board gravity pulls him or her to the water What is the reaction force to Earth's gravity?

Gravity always acts as a pair of forces, not as one single force. The strength of
the forces depends on both masses, not just one of them.
The forces of gravity attract the diver toward the earth and the earth toward the
diver. The forces are equal in both directions. If the diver weighs 150 pounds on
earth, then the earth weighs 150 pounds on the diver.
The diver accelerates toward the center of the earth with an acceleration equal
to (weight)/(diver's mass), and the earth accelerates toward the diver with an
acceleration equal to (weight)/(earth's mass).
Has that helped, or just confused the issue further ?

When a diver jumps off a diving board gravity pulls him down to the water what is the reaction force to earths gravity?
While he's in the air, the reaction force is air resistance and when he's in the water the reaction force is upthrust. Hope this helps.
What force after you have climbed to the top of the diving board gives you more potential energy than you had on the ground?
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.
When a boy pushes down on an diving board what is the reaction force?
Because you suck BALLS!!
How does gravity affects a tennis ball dropped from a high diving board?
Gravity will result in the ball being accelerated downward at a rate of 9.8 m/s/s.
What kind of lever is a diving board?
At the base of the diving board.
