Any diving tips?

I have been swimming a long time and still try to compete, when I can, in Masters meets (time allowing! I never thought about the time commitment as a kid, yet now I'm all to aware of how much time meets take up 😮).

One of my weakest parts of any race, is my start. I'm serious. My dives are horrendous. Just a couple of examples... a few years ago I was in our club championships and I was so slow off the block I saw the guy next to me dive in. I was pretty much still in the air and he is already in the water 😂. The other one of note was when there was a photo perfectly timed to get the start of my race. Next to me was a someone with near perfect form... then there is me. Head up, arms and legs apart. It was a riot.

So I was hoping to get some tips on how to fix it. I think my biggest problem is head position. As in, it's sticking way up. But I really struggle to get tucked in.
