I dove from the cliffs at ricks cafe when I was 16... only once though.. wouldn't go anyehere near the edge of the cliff after that..

Very impressive show. They probably charge more to see a white guy do it.

 

[Grendel]

Awesome! Ha, when I was 12 my mom and one of her friends took us to Jamaica. We spent an afternoon at Ricks Cafe, and I will never forget it.

Beautiful physique, strength, technique, presentation.

Can't say too much for the tree, however. He is trusting some wood there that is suspect.

Very cool place...

Red Bull sponsors or hosts a cliff diving comp that makes for good viewing also.

Didya do a swan dive there murph?

tried.. must not have looked too pretty though....

early felt like I was going to over rotate and land on my back, then about 1/4-1/3 of the way down I panicked and blacked out. Came too just before I hit the water... swam hard for the surface and that first breath... then in the "WTF just happened" moment, realized I hit the surface so perfectly, I didn't even have a red mark or tingle on my forehead... Got quiet after that and no one ever mentioned how it looked.

One of my buddies dove too, and looked like he was going to over rotate, kicking his legs like he was riding a bike all the way down. Would have looked funny of it wasn't so scary. After my dive I was so shaken up, I wouldn't even go near the edge of the cliff.

10 years later I was telling the story to a fried who suggested that when I passed out, an angel may have come into my body. Made sense to me, otherwise how did I go from feeling like I was over rotating, to a perfect entry? DO you believe in angels?... I've had enough of these type of experiences to make me a believer, really the only reasonable explanation for my survival.

I was at Ricks Cafe in 2009, saw those dudes, and jumped off the cliff. No dive! Fun timess

Those are casuarinas...dead ones really don't make good diving platforms...it could snap in 5 minutes or 5 years...hope they are watching for the signs!

 

[Limbrat]

They look like Australian pines to me

 

[Bermy]

Yup...Australian pines aka Casuarina, imported to the Caribbean and now a problem as invasives. I have gone to their point of origin to try and eradicate the source of the pestilence

See my pics last year from clearing them off cliffs in a nature reserve in Bermuda!

 

[MasterBlaster]

I'd jump all day long!

No dive though...
