The competition was actually held from both the 10 metre and 5 metre platforms and consisted of one set of dives:

  • Compulsory dives (Thursday, August 13)
    Divers performed four pre-chosen dives – a running straight header forward, standing straight somersault backward (5 metre), a running straight header forward and a standing straight header forward (10 metre).
