Fantastic coach doing great drills.  Really good for kids learning to play

I am struggling to work on my dive. I was taught to NEVER go on my knees when diving, but I have developed that habit. Any tips to fix that?

when they push for award and scrape their hands on the gym floor doesn’t that give burns?

Never land on your knees!  This is not good advice.  The sheer force of this could actually cause the kneecap or the knee joint to fracture. Unfortunately, patellar fractures (fractures to the kneecap) are very serious injuries. In most cases, they will require surgery in order to heal.
