In the Olympics, and other high level diving events such as the NCAA Championships or US Diving Championships, only one platform is competed -- the 10 meter platform.
There are, however, other platform levels that are routinely used. In junior US diving or AAU meets, the 5 meter and 7.5 meter platforms are also commonly used. Divers often use these lower platforms to train, learn new dives, and brush up on basic skills. Many training pools also have a 1 meter and 3 meter platform for training purposes. Young divers can learn skills like armstands or platform take-offs from these heights. However, the 1 and 3 meter platforms are not used in competition.
