The competition was split into three phases:

Preliminary round: 27 August — Each diver performed a front dive, a back dive, a reverse dive, an inward dive, a twisting dive and an armstand dive. There were no limitations in degree of difficulty. The 18 divers with the highest total score advanced to the semi-final.
  • Semi-final: 28 August — Each diver performed four dives out of a group consisting of a front dive, a back dive, a reverse dive, an inward dive, a twisting dive and an armstand dive. The 12 divers with the highest combined score from the semi-final and preliminary dives advanced to the final.
  • Final: 28 August — Each diver performed a front dive, a back dive, a reverse dive, an inward dive, a twisting dive and an armstand dive, all limited in difficulty degree. The final ranking was determined by the combined score from the final and semi-final dives.
