high diver
Cliff jumping athlete
A high diver is someone who dives into water from a significant height—typically platforms of ten meters or more in competitive diving, or extreme heights in cliff diving.
The term emphasizes both the skill required and the danger involved: The high divers at the cliff competition drew huge crowds.
High diving demands precise technique, as the impact at such heights can cause serious injury.
