Springboard diving is a water sport, which implies athletes jumping into the water from various apparatuses: a tower (5-10 m) or a springboard (1-3 m). During the dive, they perform a number of acrobatic exercises (turns, screws, or spins).
Judges at competitions score both the quality of acrobatic elements in the flight and the cleanliness of the water entry; at synchronized diving competitions, they also evaluate the synchronous performance of elements by two competitors.
Combining different elements makes it possible to perform more than 60 diving variations from the springboard and more than 90 variations from the tower. Springboard diving is part of the programs of the World Aquatics Championships and of the Olympic Games.
The postage stamp features two athletes performing a synchronized dive.
