"World Record Highest Dives (Randy Dickison 174'8") "

"Lucy Wardle and Randy Dickison* set new world high dive records on April 7th, 1985 during a single show at Hong Kong's Ocean Park. Lucy's dive of 120' still stands today. Randy's dive of 174' 8" surpassed Dana Kunzie's*** 172' dive in 1984. The current world high dive record of 177' belongs to Oliver Favre** of Switzerland set in France 1987."

** http://xtremesport4u.com/extreme-sports-personalities/world-record-extreme-dives-high-diving-and-deep-diving/

"However, the fact remains that Dana Kunze has the High Diving Record because the rules of the game is that you HAVE to get out of the water on your own and walk away. Oliver Favre had to be rescued from the water after sustaining a serious injury as a result of the dive – he broke his back."

*** http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dana_Kunze

"Dana Kunze is a champion high-diver. He has held the world records for the highest dives. Dana Kunze began his professional high diving career in 1974 at the age of 13.[1] He won his first world championship 1977 and maintained a winning streak for seven years.[1] Dana now maintains a company that produces High Dive Shows.[1] He was tied with the world record for highest dive at 52.4 m (172 ft)[1] until 1985, when Randy Dickison (fracturing his leg in the process) set a record of 174 feet 8 inches at an event in Hong Kong. [2][3] In 1987, the current record of 53.9 m (177 ft) was set by Olivier Favre.[4][5]"

"*** FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ***

Dana Kunze announces plans to set a NEW WORLD RECORD for the highest dive by performing his patented Reverse Triple Somersault (Triple Gainer) from the incredible height of 180'.

Dana Kunze, holder of the current World Record at a height of 172', is in training once again! His previous world record was established in 1983 at Sea World in California. That high diving show, which was aired on ABC’s Wide World of Sports, took place nearly 30 years ago. And at the age of 48, it seems that the 8x World Champion and 7x World Record Holder isn't quite done amazing the world just yet! ...The date and site for Dana's phenomenal feat have not yet been disclosed, but this record breaking high diving show is scheduled to be aired LIVE on national TV in the near future. Check back often for updates. "
