| Platforms 5 metre and 10 metre. | | A point-for-place system was used. For each dive, the divers were ranked according to their dive score and awarded points based on their rank for that dive. | | Sources vary on whether Adolfo Wellisch competed, and thus whether 14 or 15 divers from 6 or 7 nations competed. The official report does not list him, but both de Wael and sports-reference include him, with the latter even giving a score. |
