MANILA -- Red Bull's Cliff Diving World Series will return to the Philippines this year, with El Nido set to host the opening leg on April 11 to 13.

This is the second time that the Philippines will host the opening stop of the event, with the first one held in 2019.

Twenty-four of the world's elite divers will see action.

In the men's side, the competitors are: Great Britain's Aidan Heslop, Italy's Andrea Barnaba, Spain's Carlos Gimeno, Romania's Constantin Popovici, USA's James Lichtenstein, Ukraine's Oleksiy Prygorov, and Mexico's Sergio Guzman and Yolotl Martinez.

Meanwhile, the female divers are: Italy's Elisa Cosetti, Netherlands' Ginni van Katwijk, USA's Kaylea Arnett and Meili Carpenter, Canada's Molly Carlson and Simone Leathead, Ukraine's Nelli Chukanivska, and Australia's Rhiannan Iffland.

The male divers will jump from a height of 27 meters, while the female divers will leap from 21 meters. The divers will hit speeds of about 85 kph before slicing into the waters.

El Nido provides the "perfect stage" for the event, according to the organizers.

"The combination of natural rock formations, shifting weather conditions, and open water creates an unpredictable environment that tests the skill and adaptability of each diver," Red Bull said in a statement.

After the Philippines, the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series will head to Polignano A Mare in Italy on June 28 to 29; Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina on September 5 to 6; and Boston in the USA on September 19 to 20.

The champions for the men's and women's divisions will earn the King Kahekili trophy at the end of the season.
