Format

The divers were to compete in a preliminary round, with each diver making six dives. The 12 best divers were to advance to the final round during the evening session, where all previous scores would be cleared. However, since there were only 11 divers in the competition all the divers progressed to the final, with the preliminary round only serving to determine the order in which they dived in the final.
