Below are photos of what is known as "The Levels," three utility platforms underneath the Bob Sikes bridge connecting Gulf Breeze to Pensacola Beach often used for reckless recreation by young men. The only way to reach these levels is by walking on foot to the end of the fishing peer and leaping off. Swim to the Sikes bridge, scale the wooden barge bumper and climb the metal ladder to the first or second level and leap off. For those who feel the only way to truly live is to confromt death, climb to the third level. To get back to land, simply ascend the ladder to the top of the bridge and walk back down. Watch for cops and oncoming traffic.
