Cliff
Divers of Acapulco
!
by Bill Bell
Acapulco is the grand-papa of Mexican tourist resort centers. It is a large
resort city that offers a wide range of tourist accommodation including
several RV Parks. A major attraction in Acapulco is the cliff divers that
perform several times daily.
The men
swim to the rocky wall and with bare feet climb some 60 feet above the water
on an almost vertical cliff. The ceremony begins with the divers praying at
a small alter perched on a ledge.
The
dives are spectacular. The bathing suits – skimpy.
