There are Cliff Divers in Mazatlán, Sinaloa, Mexico.

They don't actually dive from a cliff, but rather a platform that is about 50' above the water.

The height of the dives is not as high as the famous cliff divers dive from in Acapulco, but it is still pretty high, about 50', and dangerous.  The divers must time the jump with the waves to ensure it is deep enough when they hit the water!

They dive every day of the week.  Many city tours will bring people here to watch the cliff divers.

The Cliff Divers are located at 'El Clavadista' which is at a plaza along the Paseo Claussen portion of the Malecon.

This is a family-friendly free(by donation) attraction.

On Sundays and weekend evenings, there are lots of street vendors selling food and souvenirs in the plaza.
