Talk to your coach about it I'm sure he'll understand.
Start from the edge of the pool and work on correct form. If you cant dive from the edge you wont be able to dive from the diving board.
And then practice, practice, and practice. Trust me the first time I dived in I was scared too but once you managed to do it the fear will go away.

Start in the backyard at someone's pool. Start doing cannonballs and work your way up to the "flying squirrel". (By the way, that dive is bada$$ and very tricky to pull off without the belly smacker) Once you get comfortable jumping in and having fun. Go to dive school and do the same stuff until you get used to jumping from that height. Then work on your swan dive.

Don't worry, my son is only 10 and he is already diving and about to swim as fast as in swimming teacher. He was scared at first but, it wasn't scary at all. But, what you should do is ask the diving teacher for his life guard licenses and if he lets you see it, you will be fine. Don't worry.

If you are afraid to dive it would be best not to until you determine what is causing your fear. There can be many reasons a person might be afraid, claustrophobia, anxiety, pressure, equipment problems, etc. I would discuss any problems honestly with your instructor and ask him/her to help you to define and overcome it. If you are diving to make someone else happy, don't do it. Only do it because YOU want to, or you'll probably get hurt.
