Two of the World's Most Popular Cliff Diving Spots


Eric Rossini completed a criminal justice degree at Northeastern University and is the owner of Massdojo, LLC, a martial arts instruction dojo based in Westborough, Massachusetts. Mr. Rossini is an avid martial arts competitor and has earned a number of titles, including the New England Kumite Champion and the 2018 US Open Masters Champion in karate. Eric Rossini also enjoys spending time with his golden retrievers, swimming, weightlifting, and cliff diving. Below are two famous spots where cliff divers come from around the world.

La Quebrada Cliffs. Located in Acapulco, Mexico, these cliffs reach heights of up to 136 feet above the Pacific Ocean. Cliff divers must carefully time their jumps into the waves below, since the swells only reach a safe depth to dive into for a mere five seconds at a time. This famous site has been used for generations by locals and offers five daily diving events, including night shows illuminated with torches.

Rick's Cafe in Negril, Jamaica. This cliff side bar opened in 1974 and is a hot spot where tourists and locals drink and dine while watching cliff diving activities nearby. There are three favorite diving spots on the limestone cliffs located here, with the tallest reaching 35 feet above the water.
