After five jumps, Dhabitah chalked up 290.45 points over five dives at the My Dinh Aquatic Centre in Hanoi. Kimberly came in a distant second on 230 points while Vietnam's Ngo Phuong Mai claimed the bronze with 224 points.

Diving is expected to bring Vietnam sports an overwhelming number of medals over other teams at the 31st SEA Games.
