The competition was held from both 10 and 5 metre platforms and was split into two phases on different days:

• Preliminary round (1 August) – Divers performed four voluntary dives of limited degrees of difficulty. The eight divers with the highest scores advanced to the final.
• Final (2 August) – Divers performed two voluntary dives without any limits of difficulty. The final score was the aggregate of the preliminary and final rounds' points.
