In synchronized diving, divers remain in the air for the same time. Is this possible if they have different wights?

Most of the girls are the same size and besides weight would not make any difference because it is a swimming maneuver that make them synchronized, not their weight.

Masses fall at the same acceleration in a uniform gravitational field regardless of weight.

Also, they do not fall long enough for terminal velocity to come into play. ;)
