IMHO, it is part-myth that vibrato comes from the diaphragm. Once you have mastered it, you will find that it naturally comes from somewhere halfway between the diaphragm and the throat.

Having said that, I teach it as though it comes from the diaphragm, because once you focus on the movement coming from that general area, it seems to settle in its natural position. Along with the fact that it teaches good breath control (I often find students have better projection and pitch control once they have started learning vibrato, even if they aren't using it all the time).

I will try and attach a PDF of the exercises I use for my flute students, you may want to alter the pitches, but the fundamentals are the same.
