The competition was split into two sets of dives on separate days:

  1. Compulsory dives (Friday, August 14)
    Divers performed four pre-chosen dives – a standing straight header forward, running straight header forward, standing straight somersault backward, and standing straight isander-half gainer.
  2. Facultative dives (Saturday, August 15)
    Divers performed four dives of their choice (from different categories and different from the compulsory).

Twenty-six divers from 15 nations competed.
