Gone Diving in Acapulco, Mexico

Jumping from the cliffs of La Quebrada is not for novices. There are two ledges to choose from: 40ft (12m) or 80ft (24m). Getting the timing wrong from either isn’t an option. But many of the locals have no fear – they have been training from a young age as a clavadista (cliff diver), a tradition that began 85 years ago among fishermen. Photographer Camillo Pasquarelli captures the scene in action here. “It is often an inherited profession, passed on from father to son,” he explains.
