    great topic guys!

    i was trying to find cliffdiving spots as well

    me and a couple of friends running a page where you can insert cliffdiving spots and we have a few there... right now i redesign the forms to insert spots (every sport got its own form) and i really wonder what you guys would like to know if you want to visit a spot

    would be sweet if you share some of you spots for people around the world

    check out: www.youspots.com

    bests!

    Good post man. I've done 2 and 4, didn't know the others existed! I feel like you over simplified the pain it is to get there, but its a great spot!

    The wormhole/serpents lair out on inis mór
    Old head sea cliffs, Mayo
    There's a flooded quarry in Tipp, not exactly sure since it's a long time since I was there...could be Portroe maybe?

    Also check out the diving board at blackrock, salthill, galway
    and the ferry pier out on inis bofin has a good bit of height off it

    There is a good leap from St. Kevin's bed in Glendalough, 55ft I think - feels like a long time to think on the way down.

    Mad stuff! :)

    Is Kevin's Bed 50+ft above the lake and is it deep there below? You'd wanna keep an eye out for the wardens too as swimming is off limits in the park!!

    There's an awesome few at hook head in wexford where the scubadiving is also unbelievable! Dived twice there and off the cliffs. Paul Ayres from Dalkey Scuba-divers should be able to point you in the right direction. Just a couple of hours drive plus from Dublin too, dead handy! Awesome bar/nightclub/hotel on either side to stay in so you can walk from the dancefloor to bed in less than 2mins! Dinner is served, drink up then get divin, you'll feel better in no time!
