The competition was split into two phases held on different days:
- Preliminary round (5 December) – Divers performed six voluntary dives of limited degrees of difficulty. The twelve divers with the highest scores advanced to the final.
- Final (6 December) – Divers performed four voluntary dives without any limits of difficulty. The final score was the aggregate of the preliminary and final rounds' points.
