BOSTON - The Red Bull Cliff Divers are back in Boston. They wowed crowds Friday with their high-diving competition outside the Institute of Contemporary Art in the Seaport.

Twenty-four of the world's most elite high-divers are diving off a platform 88 feet above Boston Harbor, hitting the water at speeds of up to 50 miles per hour.

The diving continues Saturday at 10 a.m. The weather will be cooler and cloudier than Friday but organizers said they only cancel if it's too windy or if there's lightning.
