I have been telling beginners and students for a long time that "dont look at the bottom, keep your head straight". But only after trying this "trampoline" thing yesterday, did I finally really get it my self.

I have always know it, but no one has ever put it to words quite so logically. I have to say, it immediately improved my diving both performance and the level of enjoyment. Cool to learn something new, even as simple as that...It is so much more comforting to go down and actually having a reference, rather than just sinking to the cold dark depths with just a rope running before your eyes. Of course, when you go deep enough, there is no light at all, but it really helps in the start (and at that part, gravity will take care of the proper direction)
