Not really.
On a typical archtop guitar, letting the strings go slack would allow the bridge to shift.

put a spacer (or a washer if you don't have a bigsby spacer) under the spring. It will raise the arm and give you more room to bomb. You can experiment with different thickness washers.

I'm thinking a custom part modeled after the Vibramate might get you a little more bend, by moving the string ends out further from the axis of rotation.
Securb, there's an a GIF attached to your post that I can't seem to view, even opening it in a separate window. How do you have yours set up to make divebombing possible?

Depends on what you have the Bigsby on and how you have it setup. I have no problems what-so-ever doing divebombs.
