La Quebrada Cliff Divers

The La Quebrada Cliff Divers of Acapulco are definitely worth checking out. In fact, they almost makes up for all of the tourist traps in town (*almost*). The divers are a group of professional high divers who perform daily shows for the public, which involve diving 45 metres (~147′ 8″) from the cliffs of La Quebrada into the sea below.


Although cliff diving at La Quebrada had taken place for many years, it was not until 1934 that the La Quebrada Cliff Divers was formed. One of the most interesting aspects regarding the divers are their ages. They couldn’t be older than 18 years old! Below is some video I took of the diving.
