About iCliffDive
Built for better decisions before the edge
iCliffDive is a caution-forward atlas for researching cliff diving and cliff jumping locations, built around maps, local notes, access context, hazards, and the simple belief that more information beats blind confidence.

Our mission
The more you know before a first jump, the better your choices can be.
The original iCliffDive mission was simple: give cliff divers a place to share local knowledge so other jumpers could research a spot before standing above unfamiliar water. That mission still drives the rebuild.

We help with research. We do not guarantee that any location is open, legal, or safe.
Check the conditions
Review water type, depth notes, hazards, seasonal factors, and local context before you go.
Respect access.
Know the land, follow posted rules, confirm permissions, and leave every spot better than you found it.
Our history
Built from a map daydream in 2007
The idea started while working on a Google Map integration and wishing the gray winter day had more warm water in it. A search for places like Negril, Costa Rica, and the old local quarry turned into a bigger question: why was there no useful map for cliff diving spots? What began as travel curiosity became a database of places, notes, coordinates, and community reports.
Founder profile
The anonymous kid from the sticks of New Jersey
The founder grew up in northern New Jersey, surrounded by woods, lakes, streams, rope swings, and enough rumors about hidden quarries to keep a teenager busy all summer. Before searchable maps were normal, his crew found spots by word of mouth, after-school hikes, and the kind of local directions that ended with "you will know it when you see it."
These days he keeps his name out of the spotlight, partly because old stories about off-limits quarries, access trouble, and close calls tend to follow cliff divers around longer than the jumps themselves. The site does not treat those stories as legal fact; they are part of the mythology around a traveler who would rather point people toward better research than become the main character.
The spirit is still adventurous: road trips, warm-water detours, faraway cliffs, world-traveled curiosity, and a healthy respect for signs, depth checks, changing conditions, and the decision to walk away.
