At the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, four diving events (2 for men and 2 for women) were contested during a competition that took place at the Olympic Swim Stadium of the University of Southern California (USC), from 5 to 12 August, comprising 80 divers from 29 nations.{{cite web |url=https://www.olympedia.org/games/21/sports/DIV |title=Diving at the 1984 Summer Olympics |work=Olympedia |access-date=20 May 2020 }}{{Dead link|date=February 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}
Notable changes from 1980 include the newly-introduced limit on the number of athletes a single NOC can enter, down from three in Moscow to two in Los Angeles. This was done to prevent nations from sweeping the podiums.{{cite web|url=http://www.olympedia.org/editions/21/sports/DIV|title=Olympedia - Diving at the 1984 Summer Olympics|publisher=Olympedia}}
