Men Fall
for Charity - HALO Adventure Raises $32,000 for School in South Africa
Those
of you who read this newsletter on a regular basis know how much we love
the comments and notes we get from customers when they return
from an adventure. From time to time, we share their words
with you. Here's what IA customer Yanik Silver wrote to us just last
week:
"I
am now officially the 40th civilian to have done a tandem HALO skydive.
I have to tell you - some crazy thoughts go through your head as you
see the door opening and you are 28,500 feet above the earth! I do some
crazy adventures but this was right up there as one of the top ones.
We got 2:15 minutes of freefall which was totally cool and above and
beyond any other skydive.
Even better, my
buddies Mike Filsaime (tandem HALO jumper 41) and Rob Olic (tandem HALO
jumper 42) helped raise over $32,000 for The Branson School of Entrepreneurship
in South Africa. We held a "fall-a-thon" instead of a "walk-a-thon"
and the local
Lumberton NBC station even came out to report on it."
Yanik is a regular
customer
of ours. He and Mike are part of an exclusive business group called
Maverick Business Adventures. Membership is by invitation only and includes
successful business owners, entrepreneurs and CEOs who want to
live life to the fullest, create business breakthroughs and give back
through charity and education.
"Mavericks" combine
incredible adventures, like our HALO jumping,
zero-gravity
flights and shark dives, with business sessions and high
level networking. (For more information about Maverick
Business Adventures, visit their website.)
If you'd like to
make your own high-altitude skydive, give us a call. The cost is
$3495 and scheduling is easy.
Fly the
Aviator, Meet a Legendary Explorer
You
can read all about Captain
Alfred Scott McLaren, USN (Ret), Phd. and his famous Arctic expeditions
in the July issue of Men's Journal magazine. (We've posted
the article to our website.)
To us, he's just
Fred, one of our Aviator pilots.
To the world, he's a legendary underwater explorer, President Emeritus
of the prestigious Explorer's Club, a decorated Cold War submarine commander
and book author. Captain Fred loves teaching people to fly the Super Aviator,
a two-seat submersible that flies beneath the see like an underwater
airplane.
Flight schools are
offered in a variety of tropical locations. Training ranges in price
from $4950 to $15,000 and no prior dive experience is required. For
more information, email us or click here.
Countdown
to Everest
Final
preparations continue for the first ever Skydive
Everest. Individuals from all over the world will gather in Nepal
the end of September to make history. (Read the July
8th press release sent out by our friends at High and Wild.) A few
spots remain available. The cost is currently $35,000 to jump tandem,
$26,250 to jump solo and $7770 to be part of the excitement from the
ground.

Let Us Put You
in a Cage
|
![Shark cage diving in the Farallons off San Francisco, California](shark21.gif)
Join us for a one
or two-day shark adventure in San Francisco and we'll put
you behind bars. Our shark cages can comfortably accommodate several
shark divers at one time and float beside our boats. When you're
in one of our cages, you're just below the surface of the water
so no special dive certification is necessary. (Our dive instructors
will teach you all you need to know on the way to the Farallons.)

This year's shark season is September
20 - November 16. Our one-day cage dives are $875 and
our two-day "extreme nature" expeditions are $1175. (That's not
a mistake...for just $300 more, you get to spend an extra
day diving with sharks and two nights sleeping on a very
cool research boat.) For more info, give us a call...soon.
Some dates are already sold out.

TV Show to Feature
Hollywood Top Gun Adventure
|
The
final challenge for two reality TV show contestants will be a
dogfight over the California
desert in an L-39 jet fighter. We can't tell you which contestants
or what show. That's confidential until the program airs. (It's
a good thing our Covert Ops training has taught us how to keep
secrets. If you'd like to learn covert operations, join us in
Arizona in September.) For more information on our Hollywood Top
Gun adventure, visit our website
or give us a call.
