VIDEO: Watch Daredevil Kerio Divers Jump 70 Metres into Crocodile Infested Waters
If you have ever traveled along theย Kabarnet-Iten road, you may have noticed a group ofย daring youth who dive at Cheploch Gorge on the Baringo and Elgeyo-Marakwet countiesโ border.
The divers plungeย into the 70-metre deep crocodile-infested gorge to make a living and they are quite a sight to behold.
Tourists, both local and international who visit the site, hardly resist making a stopover to watch the nerve-wracking dives.
On a good day, one diver can go homeย with at least Sh2,000.
The young men also carry out rescue operations free of charge whenever a person falls into the river.
On how they deal with crocodiles, one diver,ย Joseph Kibet said in a past interview:ย โWeโve been diving for years and have discovered over time that crocodiles donโt attack when there is a lot of movement in the water.โ
A recent video of some of the divers at work has emerged on social media circles. It shows two divers making the plunge from a bridge railing for a group of local tourists.
