David Colturi Launches Athlete-Owned NLT Cliff Diving Championship

Austin, Texas – Professional cliff diver David Colturi, together with entrepreneur Raphael Eder and a global roster of top cliff divers, today announced the launch of the No Limits Tour (NLT) Cliff Diving Championship - a new athlete-owned global cliff diving league.

The Championship will debut on October 4, 2025, at Hell’s Gate, Texas, bringing the world’s best male and female technical and freestyle cliff divers to compete at one of the sport’s most dramatic natural stages. Future stops are planned across Europe and beyond in 2026.

Cliff diving, where athletes leap from heights of up to 27 meters and reach speeds of 85 km/h, has seen explosive growth online, generating over 1 billion social media views in 2024. The NLT Cliff Diving Championship aims to harness that momentum with a content-first approach, designed to showcase athlete stories, engage fans across digital platforms, and bring the sport to festival-style live audiences of up to 70,000 per event.

“Cliff diving has always been about courage, creativity, and community,” said David Colturi, co-founder of the NLT Cliff Diving Championship. “Now, for the first time, the athletes themselves are at the center of shaping how the sport is presented to fans worldwide.”

Season 1 will mark the beginning of a new era for cliff diving, with the long-term goal of building a professional, sustainable tour for athletes and fans - and ultimately putting the sport on the path toward the Olympic Games.
