The sport further improved with gymnastic acts being performed during the diving process, and was then given the names "springboard diving" and "high fancy diving", which were events in the Olympics of 1908 and 1912.

In England, the practice of high diving – diving from a great height – gained popularity; the first diving stages were erected at the Highgate Ponds at a height of 15 feet (4.6 m) in 1893 and the first world championship event, the National Graceful Diving Competition, was held there by the Royal Life Saving Society in 1895.

A major difference between ISO 24801-1 and ISO 24801-2 is not only the maximum diving depth, but also that the supervised diver (ISO 24801-1) must always be guided by a professional guide, i.e., a dive master or an instructor, while ISO 24801-2 may dive together with equally experienced divers.
