Esther Qin and synchro pair James Connor and Grant Nel have claimed silver medals for Australia at the FINA diving Grand Prix in Gatineau, Canada.
China-born Qin, 23, went from last-place midway through the women's three-metre springboard final to finish behind only former countrywoman Chunting Wu.
"I knew I couldn't afford to miss any of my last dives. I just visualised my good dives in my head," said Qin.
Connor and Nel had only one full practice session together for springboard synchro event after Neil battled an ear infection.
But they also finished with a flourish to propel themselves into second, behind only Canadians Francois Imbeau-Dulac and Philippe Gagne.
"I have never dived in three-metres internationally before, but we both knew we were diving well individually and the dives we were doing today were dives we were doing in our individual competition," said Connor.
The two silver medals added to two silver won by the Australian team at the Mexico Grand Prix a week earlier.
All three medallists will be in action again on the final day of the Gatineau Grand Prix.
Qin will team with Adelaide's Samantha Mills in the three-metre synchro, looking to build on the silver medal they won in Mexico.
Connor will compete in the 10m synchro with Commonwealth Games gold medallists, Domonic Bedggood, and Nel will dive in the final of the individual springboard.
