The 2024 World Aquatics High Diving World Cup season served as the qualification pathway for the World Aquatics Championships – Singapore 2025. As the world’s best prepare to compete on the sport’s biggest stage, we look closer at the athletes set to compete from the breathtaking heights of the 20m and 27m platforms.

Up next in the Women's competition is Kalea Arnett. Kaylea achieved a bronze medal at the World Aquatics High Diving World Cup 2024 in Bahrain, Manama and is one to look out for in Singapore 2025.

We put Kaylea into the question-and-answer hot seat. Here's what we got from her:

Dream Landmark: Hell's Gate in Texas

Kaylea Arnett has a special connection to Texas, her home state. Growing up, she watched the Red Bull Cliff Diving competition in Texas, and one location stood out to her. “I’ve always wanted to dive from the cliff in Texas called Hell’s Gate,” she shared. Her dream is to dive from this iconic spot while having her family watch her take the plunge. “That way my family could come and watch me dive from the cliff.”
