Diving / Jumping

Ok I'm looking for good spots to jump off into water. ledges or overhangs that would scare, obviously not to big lets say 30-40 ft

Howth, Dublin - 'Lions Head' - Exactly what you're looking for I think

The location is here (It's the little lump sticking out off the coast just South of the pin point):

Let me know if you're planning to go out there because there is one hazardous lump of rock which you may not see in certain high tides (and I can describe its location to you exactly!).
Let me know if link doesn't work or if you need written instructions. It's near the 'Bailey' lighthouse. Here is a picture of the lighthouse taken from just above the Lions Head I believe:

There are some great spots on the west coast. Where are you looking for?
The national aquatic centre has a diving board and I am told they do courses if you want to learn it properly.

Jumping off a cliff is not cross country tiddley winks. I once saw a guy helicoptered off a beach with a broken neck from doing it. So care is needed.

Another sport that involves jumping off things is canyoning. Which is not done here much but some irish cavers go foreign to do it.

There is a wide variety of different heights up to about 30ft I'd say. Good Luck!
