In football, diving means "fake fall". Refers to the act of a player who pretends to be fouled by an opposing player and falls down when he has a reasonable physical impact or no collision at all, and has received a penalty in his favor. This action is similar to diving, so it is called diving in English.
Diving can be divided into two types: "springboard" and "platform":

How do you say "tandem diving" in English?
“跳水”是diving，“一双”常用double，但“双人跳水”不是double diving！
The correct English way to say "tandem diving" is:
synchronized diving
或简写为synchro diving
Here, synchronized is: adjectiveized past participle that means "synchronous".
The emphasis on double diving is not "two people", but whether two people can move in the same pace, so use synchronized, not double!
