Fear is a major part in cliff diving. And safety is always the priority.
Does a cliff diver need the feeling of fear to dive safely? What is it exactly, that scares them - the height, the risk of injury? How do scuba divers, a stable platform and the experience of overcoming your fears influence the diving performance? Is fear, in the end, something positive?
