Tobago to Host One of the Wildest Diving Competitions on Earth – The Døds Diving World Championship 2025

Charlotteville Pier, Tobago – August 9, 2025

Adventure lovers, thrill seekers, and extreme sports fans—get ready! Tobago is gearing up to host the Døds Diving World Championship 2025, one of the wildest and most adrenaline-fueled competitions on the planet. Set for August 9, 2025, at the scenic pier in Charlotteville, this event promises an unforgettable Caribbean twist on a sport like no other.

From Norway to the Caribbean: A Historic First

For the first time in history, the Døds Diving World Championship is leaving its home in Oslo, Norway, and heading to the Caribbean. This marks a major milestone for the sport and for Tobago as it becomes the new global stage for one of the most extreme diving events in the world. With crystal-clear waters, dramatic coastal views, and a culture of vibrant island energy, Charlotteville is the perfect setting for this unprecedented event.

What Is Døds Diving?

Døds diving, or “death diving,” is a gravity-defying sport that originated in Norway. Unlike traditional diving, it’s not about grace and clean entries—it's about daring, showmanship, and embracing the fall.

Competitors launch themselves from towering platforms up to 10 meters high (sometimes even higher), striking outstretched poses—arms and legs wide—for as long as possible before tucking in just before hitting the water to reduce the impact. The goal? Deliver the boldest, most creative, and fear-inducing dive possible.

The sport merges elements of high diving, snowboarding, and parkour, turning athleticism and courage into a captivating visual spectacle.

The Origin of the World Championship

The Døds Diving World Championship (DWC) officially began in 2008 in Oslo, Norway, though the sport itself dates back to the 1970s when young Norwegians would leap from diving boards for fun, testing each other's nerve and creativity.

What started as a playful act of bravado has evolved into an international phenomenon. Today, the DWC draws thousands of spectators and reaches over 200 million households globally via broadcasters like FOX Sports, DAZN, MBC, and Extreme.

Each year, the top athletes qualify through the Døds Diving World Tour, where they accumulate points at events around the world. Only the best are invited to the grand finale: the World Championship.

Why Tobago?

Tobago’s pristine waters, unique topography, and warm, welcoming culture make it a natural fit for a sport that thrives on boldness and beauty.

Hosting the 2025 DWC in Charlotteville is not just a win for the island—it’s a statement. Tobago is stepping into the global spotlight, positioning itself as a premier destination for adventure tourism and extreme sports.

This event will showcase not only the sport’s most daring athletes but also Tobago’s untapped potential for hosting world-class, heart-pounding experiences.
