Diving developed in Europe in the 17th century, when gymnasts practised their acrobatics over water. Combining artistry and athleticism with undeniable courage - platform divers hit the water at about 55km/h - diving ranks among the SEA Games' most exhilarating events. The traditional men's and women's 10-metre platform and three-metre springboard diving events were repeated for the synchronized portion, with judges assessing both individual dives and synchronization.
