This section tabulates the heads of qualification in a form suitable to be filled in as events progress. The full qualification rules[1] for diving published by AQUA contain intricate conditions too lengthy for inclusion in Wikipedia.
This article details the qualifying phase for diving at the 2024 Summer Olympics. The competition at these Games comprised a total of 136 divers coming from their respective NOCs; each could enter a maximum of two divers per gender in the individual events and a gender-based pair in the synchronized events, respecting a sixteen-member (eight per gender) country limit.[2] To be eligible for the Games, all divers must have been 14 years old or older on or before December 31, 2023; and must have participated in various international meets approved by World Aquatics.[1][3]
4: the top four pairs vying for qualification at the 2024 FINA World Championships, from February 2 to 18, in Doha, Qatar
1: reserved for the host country France.
If the host country France qualified for a quota in either championship, or any of the teams with quotas from the 2023 event take a quota place in 2024, the next team in line would have been awarded the quota place for that championship. For example, fourth place United States was thus awarded a quota in the men's 3-meter synchronized springboard following France's third-place finish in 2023.
Furthermore, additional countries were awarded a quota in the both men's and women’s 3-meter synchronized springboard and 10-meter synchronized platform following China’s successive gold medal wins in both 2023 and 2024.
The qualification spots for each of the individual springboard and platform diving events (both men and women) were attributed as follows:[1][3]
2023 World Championships – The top twelve finalists of each individual event obtained a quota place for their NOC at the 2023 World Aquatics Championships, from July 14 to 30, in Fukuoka, Japan.
Continental Qualification Tournaments – The winners of each individual event obtained a quota place for their NOC at one of the five continental meets (Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania) approved by World Aquatics.
2024 World Championships – Twelve highest-ranked divers eligible for qualification obtained a quota place for their NOC in each individual event at the 2024 FINA World Championships, from February 2 to 18, in Doha, Qatar, respecting the two-member country limit and without surpassing the total quota of 136.
Reallocation – Additional spots were entitled to the eligible divers placed thirteenth and above in their corresponding individual events, respecting the two-member country limit, at the 2024 World Aquatics Championships until they attain the total quota of 136.
Host nation – As the host country, France reserved four men's and four women's spots to be distributed in each of the individual diving events.
