Synchronised Diving
The synchronised diving competition involves two competitors diving simultaneously from the springboards or platform. The competition is judged on how they individually perform their dives and how the team synchronises their performance.
For synchronised diving events nine judges are appointed to give a score between zero and ten for each dive. In the synchronised diving events, two judges will rate one individual diver, two other judges will rate the second individual diver and five judges will rate the synchronisation of the pair. The other five judges award points based on the synchronisation of the two dives. Factors to be considered by the synchronised divers include:
Awards: 6 – 5 – 5 - 5 - 5 – 5 – 5 – 5 – 4
Total: 25 (high and low scores are eliminated)
DD: 2.0
Score: 50 x .6 = 30 points

The other five judges award points based on the synchronisation of the two dives. Factors to be considered by the synchronised divers include:
- The approach
- The take-off, including the similarity of height
- The co-ordinated timing of the movements during the flight
- The similarity of the angles of the entries
- The comparative distance from the board and platform of entry
- The co-ordinated timing of the entries
