The competition was held at 8:00 a.m. in the 20 × 20 meter diving pool of the swimming stadium. Five compulsory and five freestyle jumps had to be shown. The compulsory jumps were a forward somersault, a head jump backwards from a standing position, an Auerbach jump with a run-up, a forward somersault, backwards from a standstill and half a drill forward with a run-up. The freestyle was chosen from the jump table with 24 jumps in five groups. The greatest difficulty level of 2.3 included a one and a half Auerbach somersault or one and a half somersault forward with a full twist, each with a run-up. The Peruvian Calderon did not perform all the required jumps, which is why he was placed in last place.
