For the first time ever, this summer Northern Ireland’s Causeway Coast will welcome the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series.
Positioned in the World Series calendar as a major mid-season shake-up, the fourth stop of 2024 from 18-20 July has multiple take-off spots lined up throughout the event — a challenge that will surely test the divers to their limits.
In the opening rounds, dives will launch directly off the cliffs at both Kinbane Castle and from the iconic cove known as ‘Lord’s Prayer’. The competitors will then wrap up the final two rounds by diving from the purpose-built platforms constructed in Ballycastle Harbour.
Though the Causeway Coast is a first for 2024’s diver line-up, the World Series has previously hosted five stops “down the road” on the island of Ireland, most recently in 2021 — 180 miles from Ballycastle at Downpatrick Head, Co Mayo where the divers plunged into the rough waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
With coastal conditions prone to throwing challenging conditions into the mix at any given time, expect the mid-season stop to serve up plenty of twists and turns and dramatic battles, as the divers fight for cliff-diving supremacy.
