r/cliffjumping

I am from Martinez California and love cliff jumping. Was wondering if there are any spots kind of around where I live?

Hey! Since last year I’ve started to learn some dives, backflips and gainer flips, that I never did when I was younger. I’m 34 now and whenever I do it I get a stuffy nose, the water get inside my sinuses and I’ll even feel a bit sick sometimes. Does anyone have a good solution or should I just leave my wannabe cliff diving to the younger folk?

I know these types of posts are probably annoying, but me and some buddies will be staying about an hour south of Tampa in a few weeks, and wanted to know if there are any good jump spots in the general area? We’re willing to drive a couple hours.

would anyone know any great places to go cliff/bridge jumping in the Austin area where I wont die but not too small like the Barton bridge?

Does anyone know anyone whos ever jumped off the low level or walterdail bridge for fun? Im thinking eith the record rainfall and water level reaching close to 20 feet that i can safely 1 time Jump off one of the short bridges , does anyone know anyone whos done it before or if the water level is high enough or if there potential junk thats been tossed in of the bridge I need to worry about it?

It seems likely that the water currently is 18 feet deep and the shortest bridge is roughly 35 feet above the water , its supposed to rain all week so the numbers should improve .

Maybe not a cliff

How many times did you jump off a bridge and survive?

I'm guessing at least one! Did you ever lose a friend from jumping off a bridge?

I lost my friend and I still think of him even though it was 1996

I lost my friend Wes back in 1996 and he jumped off a bridge with five other people and he was a Youngstown State swim team guy and he got stuck under some lines under the water. Kills me to this day.

It'll be my first time cliff jumping in San Diego, probably at The Clam in La Jolla or Sunset Cliffs (Other suggestions are welcome!) but I wanted to know how to know whether its a safe time to jump or not?

What forecasts should I read? What should I see if snorkel the water before jumping in? How to time the jump with the swell or whatever? Other things I haven't thought of?

Your help is much appreciated!

I heard normal diving earplugs are not recommended because its too much pressure underwater if they seal your ears. So which ones are actually the best for cliff diving?
