The Canadian edition of the 2021 FINA Diving Grand Prix, also known as the Canada Cup, was hosted virtually, allowing international athletes to compete against each other in real time from across the globe.

The event featured 34 athletes from Britain, Canada, Slovakia and the United States competing from six different locations.

Equipment was sent to the competing nations, with a Dejero transmitter provided to help with the filming of the event.

The transmitter was connected to the pool's hard-wired internet connection and provided transmission rates of less than one second.

The transmission was sent to Integrated Sports' video-production system in Canada, with the video then sent to a website which allowed judges to watch and score athletes in real time.
