DØDS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

The Døds Diving World Championship is the pinnacle event of the sport of death diving. It has taken place in Oslo, Norway, every summer since it debuted in 2008 as the first official death diving competition on the global stage. In recent years the event has outgrown its birthplace and moved to various spots along the Oslo harbor, with over 6000 spectators gathering to watch their death diving heroes. The events have been broadcast nationally (TV2, TV2 Sport, Viasat) and internationally (ESPN).
