As a young teen I would go to the SHOF on FTL Beach, they closed the 10-meter on the tower, but you could go to the second platform, was able to do a 1.5 flip from 20-feet, was not scary as a young punk.
Also, lots of dredged rock pits in SE FL, used to dive from trees with platforms, some were 25 feet, not a problem.
About 5 years ago I jumped, did not dive, off the b-i-l's tri-level, about 25 feet, only feet first, getting scarier with age, but I do not back down from a challenge, as the young buck nephews thought the old man would not do it, I showed those pricks the old man can still kick some arse.
