Preparations are well underway for the “World Aquatics Championships“ event, set to begin on July 14th, with venues being established throughout the city. The high diving venue is located near the Fukuoka PayPay Dome and Hilton Sea Hawk, at Jigyohama Beach. A 30-meter-high diving tower is being constructed for the competition. High diving competitors will dive from heights of 27 meters for men and 20 meters for women, showcasing their skills and difficulty levels. Divers can reach speeds of up to 100 km/h when entering the water from such heights. The diving tower is expected to be fully assembled at its 30-meter height within the next 2-3 weeks. Source: KBC
