In May of 1999, AirAboveWater began as a small site on Commerce Marketplace with one
simple idea: find the world's great cliff jumps and bridge jumps, photograph them, and
write down exactly how to get to each one — the turn-by-turn directions, the
jumpers, the heights, the warnings — so anyone could stand where the jumpers stood.
Over nineteen years it grew into a worldwide directory of jump spots: USA cliff jumps
and bridge jumps, and worldwide cliffs and bridges, from Havasupai Falls and the Trask
River to Corfu, Greece. In August 2018 the site was taken down and its contents deleted.
What you are about to enter is the site recovered from the Internet Archive —
one site, in two eras, preserved as it was.
Era 1 — The Original Site
2000–2010. AirAboveWater as it first lived, at
commercemarketplace.com: hand-built pages for every jump spot, the original
photographs and videos, and the first AAW store — logo tees, pullovers,
hats and decals. Enter the site as its earliest visitors saw it.
Enter Era 1 →
Era 2 — The Final Site
2011–2018. AirAboveWater on its own domain, grown into the
full directory: every state and country listing, the complete spot write-ups with
their word-for-word directions, Jump Fest USA, the news and the videos —
the site as it stood when it closed in 2018.

Monkey Cliff Diving
A cliff-diving classic from the Flash era, by Mohsye. When a monkey
pops up, click him to make him dive — time it right with the waves and the wind,
and the quicker he dives, the more points you get. Good luck, Monkey Divemaster!
