Cliff Diving Anyone?

I wouldn't be able to go anywhere near the edge of the high diving platform. I would end up slithering about on my belly. How these guys can do this type of sport is beyond me. Water isn't at all soft when you approach it at speed; it is more akin to hitting a brick wall - ouch.

Maybe 40 years ago I would have given it a go, but at 65 I think it might be a jump too far for me!

Re: Cliff Diving Anyone?

Never in a millyon years! I can't swim and need to be near bars in the pool. Taking my feet off the ground in the sea is a no-no. So diving off a cliff is a rock solid, definite, I will never change my mind, not on your nelly - resounding I should blimming cocoa!!!!
