Qualification Criteria
An NOC may qualify a maximum of two divers in each individual event, and one team in each synchronized event. Entry places will be allocated based on results at the FINA World Championships in 2007, and the FINA Diving World Cup in 2008. The divers only earn qualification spots for their country, not the divers themselves.
