They're essentially the same with both using a score for execution (the old gymnastics 10 score) plus a difficulty score. Diving just multiples execution with difficulty while artistic gymnastics adds the two.
Ultimately if you watch enough, you realize that 100 points in diving is an amazing score, like 16.0 would be in artistic gymnastics.
