Kliff diving, or diving into water from cliffs, is one of the most extreme sports in the world. The high rock, deep water, and courage - this is his recipe. No additional hardware, no protection, only the absolute concentration and total control over the body. The only thing your outfit - swimsuit or trunks. The principle is simple, the difficulty lies in your own experience. Diving into the water from a height of about 27 meters, which is the equivalent height of an eight-building, has a long tradition, but remained largely unknown to a large extent before the World Series Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series in May 2009, the competition, which brought together the best in the world divers.
We offer 25 amazing photographs taken during the competition klifdayvingu in 2011.
