Land diving is a ritual performed by the men of the southern part of Pentecost Island, Vanuatu. Men jump off wooden towers close to 90 feet high, with two tree vines wrapped around the ankles. Land diving is done by tying vines to each ankle. According to the Guinness World Records, the g-force experienced by those at their lowest point in the dive is the greatest experienced in the non-industrialized world by humans. The origin of land diving is described in a legend of a woman who was dissatisfied with her husband, . It is sometimes claimed that the woman was upset that her husband was too vigorous regarding his sexual wants, so she ran away into the forest. Her husband followed her, so she climbed a banyan tree.She tied lianas to her ankles and jumped and survived. Her husband jumped after her, but did not tie lianas to himself, which caused him to plummet and die. Originally, women did it in respect to the original woman who did it, but husbands were not comfortable with seeing their wives in such positions, so they took the sport for themselves, and it gradually changed from trees to specifically designed wooden towers. The men performed the original land diving so that they would not be tricked again.

🚤 Think you know your boat? Think again! Osmosis is the hidden threat lurking in many multihulls—causing rot, delamination, and costly repairs over time. Always ask: What's the core made of? Foam core = durability, wood or balsa = disaster waiting to happen. Protect your investment and sail smarter! 🌊⚓️ #BoatBuyingTips #NEELtrimarans #multihullsailing #cruising #sailinglife #shorts

There are 200 steps leading up to the chapel. During the filming on Skopelos, there were power outages because the film crew used so much lighting and equipment. Although the actual filming lasted only about seven days, preparations took place over a period of more than three months. The chapel’s location is on a rock – at the very end of the island. In the script, the path to it was described as “just a short walk.” In reality, it was a logistical nightmare that consumed entire shooting days. The Greek extras in the film were often actual islanders, including fishermen and shopkeepers.
