Tour of Luzon Revival a complete package

El Nido, Palawan might become one of the 'meccas' for cliff diving from here on. Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series officials and the divers themselves see that possibility on the horizon after two successful staging of the gravity-defying event at the renowned Lagen Island, Small and Big Lagoons there over the weekend.

"It's tough climbing up the rocks but when you're up there (at the El Nido cliffs), it feels like a mecca of high diving," said 10-time Red Bull champion and two-time world championship king Gary Hunt of France, who has been all over the world for top-tier diving spots.

"It's been a long time coming for six years. And it's in El Nido again. I'm so happy to be here. My heart is full of joy and love."
