What is Over-rotation / going over in Diving?

Carrying too much somersault into the entry so the legs chase past vertical, kicking up splash. The opposite fault — arriving short — leaves the diver leaning back. Both are the visible signatures of a mistimed come-out.

Example: He went slightly over on the last dive and the splash told the story.
