The men's synchronised 3 metre springboard diving competition at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro took place on 10 August 2016 at the Maria Lenk Aquatic Center in Barra da Tijuca.

Competition format

The competition was held in a single stage with each two-person team making six rounds of dives. There were eleven judges scoring each dive made by each team - three judges for each diver, six in total; and five judges for synchronisation. Only the middle score counted for each diver, with the middle three counting for synchronisation. These five scores were averaged, multiplied by 3, and multiplied by the dive's degree of difficulty to give a total dive score. The scores for each of the six dives were summed to give a final score.[1]
