The 2008 Olympic diving competition will be held at the National Aquatics Center in the Olympic Green in Beijing.

Listed below are the dates, times, and scheduled air times for the diving coverage on NBC. Please note that these air times are subject to change. Check with your local affiliate, cable or satellite provider for actual dates, times, and coverage. At this point, only the men's platform semi-finals can be seen live.

Be aware, there is a 12 hour time difference between Eastern Standard Time and Beijing. If it is 12 midnight in Beijing, it is 12:00 noon in New York and 9:00 am in Los Angeles. So if you want to watch the events on prime time television as if they were live, make sure not to listen to results!
