Dive start versus in-water start times

My pool does not allow any diving so all my times are based on starting in the water. I've been trying to figure out how much time (if any) a dive would shave off my times. Anybody have any idea? Say I swim the 50 in :30, what's your guess as to what the time would be if I could dive at the start?

    if you're doing this in practice and simply add a dive in i would say maybe 27-28. if you then put yourself into a race with a racing suit on (assuming you wear drag in practice) i would say 26-27 My reference is my 50's in practice can be as fast as like 27ish and my fastest 50 race has been 22 high... hopefully soon to be 22 low :)
