The competition, held on Wednesday August 12, was split into two sets of dives held on the same day:

  1. Compulsory dives
    Divers performed three pre-chosen dives – a running straight somersault forward, standing header backward with pike, and running straight isander-half gainer.
  2. Facultative dives
    Divers performed three dives of their choice (from different categories and different from the compulsory).

Sixteen divers from nine nations competed.
