Cliff Divers Put on a Risky Show for Tourists in Acapulco

At Mexico’s beach resort of Acapulco, a group of professional cliff divers are enthusiastically putting their lives at risk regularly and performing shows for the public and attracting tons of tourists in that way.

The Acapulco cliff divers have risked their lives daily for decades. Alejandro Rivera, now 28-year-old, is one such diver at the tourist attraction.

He dropped out of school at the age of eleven and never thought of learning a trade. In his family, becoming a cliff diver is the only profession. In this way, he is performing cliff diving and earning bucks from enthralled tourists.
