The Travis County Sheriff's Office Monday released the identities of two men whose bodies were recovered in Lake Travis Sunday morning.

Deputies say Nicholas Micale, 22, and Jamal Hasan, 21 -- who were students at Lamar University in Beaumont -- were cliff-diving at Pace Bend Park when they went under Saturday.

The Travis County Medical Examiner's Office says both accidentally drowned.

The Lower Colorado River Authority reports water levels are down about 11 feet at this time of year.

Cliff jumping is not illegal, but authorities strongly discourage it.
