What is a "diving event"?
A diving event is a competition where participants jump into water from a platform or springboard, performing acrobatic movements in the air before entering the water. The event is judged based on the skill, complexity, and execution of the dives, as well as the smoothness of the entry into the water. Diving events are often held in swimming pools with platforms or springboards at different heights, and they can include individual or synchronized dives where two divers perform the same movements together.
Examples
