Breathtaking. Superb location.

Technically not a dive though or am I being harsh ?

Dunno Peter, they do say Cliff Diving, maybe you should shoot an email off to Red Bull and alert them. They're going to feel very silly

Judging by how they got the red bull logo in on every shot I think they know what they are doing

The guy said that's a natural pool? Perfectly rectangular? It's not a quarry or something like that?

Completely natural. The island is a remnant of a Karstic limestone landscape and it tends to break up along lines. The pool is open to the sea underwater, as far as I recall.

Amazingly symetrical rectangular natural pool...........but only 6m deep

Doesn't seem like much when your hutling towards it from a 26m height!

Respect is due to the very first person who one day thought "hey, wouldnt it be fun to jump down into that"....
