Description: Acapulco, MEXICO - Cliff Divers: The La Quebrada Cliff Divers are a group of professional high divers, based in Acapulco, Mexico. They perform daily shows for the public, which involve diving 30 meters (100 ft.) or 41 meters (135 ft.) from the cliffs of La Quebrada into the sea below. The depth of water in the "Gulch" can vary from 4.8 meters (16 ft.) to 5.8 meters (19 ft.) depending on the waves. The width of the channel varies from 12.8 meters (42 ft.) to 14.6 meters (48 ft.). Timing is crucial for the divers. During the night, they often hold torches while diving. Acapulco cliff diving was regularly featured on weekend sports television programming in the United States during the 1960s and 1970s when the USA High Diving Team competed with the La Quebrada Cliff Divers annually during the Acapulco Christmas Festival. Although cliff diving at La Quebrada had taken place for many years, it was not until 1934 that the La Quebrada Cliff Divers was formed. One of the more famous Cliff Divers was Raoul Garcia. Swiss big-band leader, playboy, club owner and hotelier Teddy Stauffer (1909 - 1991), the man who is credited with turning Acapulco into a world class resort.
