In the world of diving, they are the rebels and free spirits.
Instead of using a board over a pool, high divers compete outdoors, leaping from 27 meters (88.5 feet) in a sport that developed from daredevil jumps off cliffs.
Twisting and somersaulting in the air, they fall so fast that the water can cause serious injury if the landing is wrong.
