Ouch, yeah, I don't get that scenario with the groups I drive with; none allow dive bombing
In this scenario, it is likely you are activating ABS, and you've likely already turned in so, if you haven't used the 'pedal dance' to fully turn off the nanny's/EBD, then there is a lot going behind the scenes with the brake system that could be causing what you feel as a harder pedal. I know that some ABS systems will give you such an effect when it is trying to prevent rear lockup; Google "brake ice mode" and you'll find that a lot of brake systems have this effect.
To avoid it, try anticipating a braking dive bombs. You can usually tell and then blend in nicely behind them.
