The crew of the Open 66 NV anchors in Homo Bay on the western side of Pentecost Island, Vanuatu, to observe the traditional land diving ritual.2:01 This annual ceremony, performed every Saturday from April through June, involves men and boys jumping from wooden towers reaching heights of nearly 19 meters.9:25 Divers secure their ankles with tree vines, which are selected by village elders to match the jumper's height and weight.8:39 The tower construction takes three to five days and relies on freshly cut wood and vines, using no nails or screws.7:06 To ensure safety, villagers churn the soil beneath the tower to soften the landing area and remove stones.7:28 A critical component of the jump involves a man on the platform using a machete to weaken the support structure at the moment of impact, which causes the platform to collapse and absorb the diver's momentum.20:38 The ritual serves as a rite of passage for boys and is believed to ensure a successful yam harvest.16:23
