Thousands flocked to Ballycastle over the weekend as the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series took over the town.
The competition is one of the biggest events in extreme sports and sees 12 men and 12 women compete at every event to earn maximum championship points.
Divers took part in a series of events on Friday July 19 and Saturday July 20. Jumping from a 27 metre tall platform, they hit speeds of 85kmph before landing in to waters of Ballycastle Harbour. They were judged by a panel on their acrobatics and artistic moves during the dive.
Friday’s day of diving action kicked off as early as 8am at Kinbane Castle. Jutting out from the headland into the Atlantic Ocean, it was described as the “wildest setting of the season so far” by organisers.
The second day and final round of the competition took place on Saturday, July 20, with the action broadcast live on TG4 and Red Bull TV.
It saw the world’s best divers compete at the latest stop in the World Series.
Each diver rapelled around 10-12 metres down the rocky cliff face to reach the diving launch spot.
The UK’s Aidan Heslop and Australia’s Rhiannan Iffland topped the league tables at the end of the weekend.
