<div id="urb-ads-toc-box" class="post-ads-toc-box urb-ads-toc" style="display:none;"></div><p>Parkour and free-running are fine for athletic types, while planking and the <a href="https://weburbanist.com/2010/11/10/parkour-for-lazies-the-bizarre-british-lying-down-game/">lying-down game</a> are great for lazies, but suspended somewhere in between we find the leisure dive.</p>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/leisure-dives-with-cocktails.jpg"><img decoding="async" alt="leisure dives with cocktails" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/leisure-dives-with-cocktails.jpg" width="468" height="591"></a></p>
<p>Blending the action-packed art of diving and cavalier nonchalance of sipping a cocktail, the actual site (<a href="http://www.leisuredive.com/about-the-leisure-dive/">Leisure Dive</a>) started as a Facebook phenomena with a few pictures and spiraled out of control from there.</p>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/leisure-dive-newspaper-jump.jpg"><img decoding="async" alt="leisure dive newspaper jump" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/leisure-dive-newspaper-jump.jpg" width="468" height="463"></a></p>
<p>Variants include: hopping off a bike in mid-jump, or holding something other than a drink. Other details aside, though, appearance is critical &ndash; the less you look like someone prepared to splash into a pool (or other body of water, or hard-packed dirt) a few moments after your photograph is snapped, the more convincing the effect.</p>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/leisure-dives-various-photos.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="leisure dives various photos" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/leisure-dives-various-photos.jpg" width="468" height="800"></a></p>
<p>For those wishing to get in on the game, the instructions are as follows: <em>(1)&nbsp;Grab some friends, a decent camera, and head somewhere chill near a body of water. A swimming pool works. A lake will do. A river? You crazy. (2)&nbsp;Put on a bathing suit. Or a linen suit. Or a koala suit. Anything leisurely. (3)&nbsp;Grab something that says you are just a chilled out individual. A pi&ntilde;a colada. A pitching wedge. A harpsichord. Whatever. We all unwind differently. (4)&nbsp;Find a nice perch from which to jump. Make sure you have a leisurely backdrop and a safe landing. (5)Now jump in, and embrace the leisure. Tip your glass. Pop your elbow. And most importantly, look at the camera with a face that says, &ldquo;Does this suit make me look awesome?&rdquo; The answer is yes. And, SNAP.</em></p>
