Tom Daley and Dan Goodfellow were content with European Championships silver after Germany stole gold in the final round at the London Aquatics Centre on Thursday.
Jack Laugher won silver in the men's three-metres springboard final before Daley and Goodfellow competed in the 10m synchro event.
Daley, who won 3m mixed synchro gold with Grace Reid on Wednesday, and Goodfellow led after five of the six dives.
But the pair did not execute their final dive, the back three-and-a-half somersaults with pike, as they would have liked, allowing Sascha Klein and Patrick Hausding to triumph by less than one point, with 445.26 to the Britons 444.30.
Daley, who is 22 on May 21, said: "It's not the result we wanted, but I can't say it's necessarily a bad thing. There's a lot of positives to take from it.
"We were only two points off our personal best. I said to Dan 'don't worry, let the Germans have this one and we'll be coming to get them at the Olympics'.
"They've been doing synchro for over 10 years and we've only been doing it for 10 months. It was less than a point in the end. Half a point from any judge throughout the whole competition could've changed it.
"We're still a new pair and that's what's exciting about this. There's another few months yet until the Olympic Games."
Goodfellow, 19, from Cambridge, added: "I am a bit gutted. We wanted that gold medal, especially in front of a home crowd. It just gives you that fuel to do better in the Olympics. Mixed emotions, but I'm happy."
Daley won bronze at the London 2012 Olympics and returns in the 10m individual event on Sunday.
He said: "I'm really excited about Sunday. I'm feeling good and I can't wait to dive."
World Championships bronze medallist Laugher led after the opening two rounds of his final, but debilitating cramp in his calf muscles contributed to a poor third dive.
Laugher scored 45.90 for his inward three-and-a-half somersaults with tuck, but responded with three strong dives to take silver behind Russia's Evgenii Kuznetsov.
The 21-year-old City of Leeds diver said: "It's my first ever European medal, so I'm really happy, especially to do it at home.
"My first two rounds were brilliant. I even got a 10 on the reverse. Unfortunately on that second dive, both my calves cramped up really badly.
"It put me off a little bit and meant my third dive was really hard to complete. I'm not going to blame it entirely on that, but to stand on the back of a board with cramped calves is extremely painful. It did affect me.
"The way I bounced back with my back three dives was really good. To get a silver medal, I'm very proud."
