La Quebrada Cliff Diver, Acapulco, Mexico


One of Acapulco's famous La Quebrada Cliff Divers performs a death-defying dive. The divers perform regularly for spectators, diving from heights of up to 35 meters (125 ft) into the water below. Timing is everything, as the depth of the water in the inlet can vary from 8 to 16ft. The group was formed in 1934, and has no reported fatalities in that time.
