Divers take showers after they dive because when they get out of the water, they have chlorine on their skin. They take showers to get the chlorine off before it starts to itch and irritate their skin, and to get them warm, because the water they are in is freezing.

\ Divers take showers after each dive is due to the chlorine in the pool after they get out. It drys up your hair and sometimes your skin will get sticky and in turn could cause them to get distracted on the upcoming dive.
