Team GB's Matty Lee and James Denny have finished fifth in the men's 10m synchro at the home leg of the World Diving Series.
The duo made their season debut in the most crowded 10m synchro event of the year to date, with a field of eight competing pairs.
Despite having a routine with low tariffs of dive difficulty, strong scores of 75.84 and 77.76 in rounds three and four allowed Denny, 21, and Lee, 17, to edge ahead of more seasoned competition from Colombia, Cuba and Canada with an overall total of 385.32.
China's Lin Yue and Chen Aisen wrapped up a routine victory with a total of 474.84, almost 50 points ahead of their nearest competitors.
Germany's Patrick Hausding and Sascha Klein avenged their narrow loss to young Mexican pair German Sanchez and Ivan Garcia in Kazan last week by taking silver with a total of 427.02 to their rivals' 420.78, which comfortably earned them bronze. Sanchez and Garcia were left disappointed with a score of just 68.88 in round four for the circuit's most ambitious dive of the event, the 4.1-tariff inward 4-1/2 somersault tuck.
Colombian diver Juan Rios, who was forced to retire part-way through last week's competition after landing flat on his back during a dive, made a quick return to action in London with partner Victor Ortega. The pair switched out the dive that left Rios needing medical attention but could only finish sixth on the leaderboard with a score of 382.50.
