Video: Footage of paralysed diving coach taking inspiration plunge on his birthday goes viral

November 9, 2017

Footage of a disabled US man taking a three-metre plunge off a diving board has gone viral.

Diving coach Cliff Devries' body was paralysed after a six-inch tumour was removed from his brain stem. 

The video of Mr Devries was uploaded by Humankind accompanied by the caption: 

"We've never been so excited to be so nervous. Seeing him at the end of the diving board has us on the edge of our seats."

Mr Devries was previously a diver, and has been doing the annual dive on his birthday for about 10 years. 

He described his dive as "exhilarating and exciting".
