Overview NLT Cliff Diving is a professional cliff diving tour co-owned by the athletes who compete on it. Divers launch from platforms 27 metres (90 feet) above the water and hit it at up to 85 km/h about three seconds after take-off. Men and women compete on an equal field in two disciplines, Olympic and Freestyle, for one season title. The Texas stop is planned for Levy Event Plaza on Lake Carolyn in Las Colinas, Irving, with other stops planned in Australia and Europe. On site A crane-mounted dive tower goes up at the edge of the plaza, and the divers drop straight into Lake Carolyn. Fans watch from the viewing lawn and from kayaks on the lake. Competition runs over two days in four rounds of about 45 minutes each, with qualification on day one and the final and prize-giving on day two, when live music carries on into the evening. Family Fest runs alongside with rides and food trucks, and a stage next to the dive site carries a headline act and local artists. Hotels and DART stops sit just north of the plaza. Audience Spectators stand along the shore and the water through all four rounds, then queue at the athlete area for autographs after the prize-giving. Up to 18 local junior and college divers, from the Dallas Metroplex Diving Club or college teams such as SMU, join the pros for a platform workshop and a lunch-and-learn on the training day. Talent and Influencers The selected NLT athletes include Molly Carlson, Ossy Ali, Morgane Herculano and Carlos Gimeno. Xantheia Pennisi, Catalin Preda and Reagan Popoff won the inaugural titles. The tour was co-founded by David Colturi, a US national diving champion, and Raphael Eder, its CEO. Track record The debut event at Hell's Gate on Possum Kingdom Lake, Texas, drew more than 3,000 spectators to the cliffs. The second season opened at AREA 47 in Tyrol, Austria, with free entry. Investors include Michele Attisani, co-founder of ESL FACEIT Group. Brand presence Six commercial partners backed the debut, and the host resort's logo sat on the dive platform. We Go Again, a London production studio, signed on as strategic media partner for documentary and long-form content. The Texas weekend schedules media and partner sessions on the training and qualification mornings and a sponsor welcome gala on the training-day evening.
