World Cliff Diving Championship Finals, Dubai 2016

We had front row seats for this from our balcony.  What a spectacle Dubai can put on.  They were setting up the lighting and screens for a couple of weeks.  The actual 'cliff' was Pier 7, a 7 floor round restaurant building we look out to in the Marina.  They constructed two platforms from Pier 7.  One at 20m and one at 28metres.  

That's high.  Very high.  They hit the water at 85kms an hour.  They have some serious cajones.  Women and men compete.  Far higher than the 10metre olympic platform diving.

The evening was beautiful.  The place packed.  We enjoyed a gorgeous dinner looking out over this spectacle and felt pretty lucky to be living here.
