Two
of the world's top BASE jumpers will teach you everything you need to
know to jump off Switzerland's most famous mountain. Give them 30+ days
and they'll have you standing on the edge of a mountain, prepared to
make a solo leap you'll never forget.
Dave Barlia has been BASE jumping for 20 years and was the first American
to jump off The Eiger, a mountain in Switzerland's Bernese Alps.
He was voted one of America's Top 50 Adventure Athletes. If you've
seen a TV commercial featuring a daring jump, you've probably seen Dave.
Barry Holubek is regarded as one of the world's top skydiving, BASE
jumping and wingsuit instructors and currently teaches skydiving to
the US Military's Special Forces. He's made over 12,000 skydives
and 1000 BASE jumps.
No prior skydiving experience is necessary. Dave and Barry can take
you from first jump to BASE jump. But, be warned. This program isn't
cheap and it isn't easy. Training could take 30 days or more, depending
on your current level of experience and includes practice jumps from
planes, balloons and bridges. The cost varies depending on the training
locations chosen.
If you'd like more information, let
us know and we'll put you in touch with Dave and Barry. (See
Dave jump in this YouTube clip.)
If you're looking for a fun and inexpensive way to get to the Bahamas for
one of our tiger shark dive adventures, consider taking the
Discovery
Cruise boat from Ft Lauderdale to Freeport. The boat provides ferry
service from Florida to the Bahamas every day but Wednesday.
IA shark dive instructor Jillian Morris will be taking the boat to
the Bahamas for our upcoming June 26th tiger shark adventure. If you'd
like to join Jill in a shark cage, contact
us ASAP.
(Jillian was sorting through her photos and found this photo from a
past tiger shark adventure.)
In September, Colin McCallum will travel to Russia to fly
a MiG-29 to the edge of space, hoping to raise awareness of ovarian
cancer symptoms in the process. Colin lost "his soulmate"
Pauline to the disease in 2009 and hopes to use his adventure to educate
others about the disease. He's also working to raise funds for the hospital
that cared for Pauline, the King Edward Memorial Hospital for Women
in Perth Western. Join us in wishing him well success.
Pauline's death at 41 is a reminder that life can be short. Don't put
off living your dreams. If we can help make a dream adventure come true,
let
us know.
IA's Director of West Coast Shark Ops Greg
Barron can fix or build just about anything, which makes him the
perfect guy to have along when you're 25 miles off the coast of San
Francisco diving with great white sharks.
This
summer, he and several members of our white
shark expedition team are busy building "The Frigate",
an "art ship" to debut at Burning
Man, an annual festival in Nevada. If anyone can transform an old
RV into a tall ship that sails on land, it's our Greg.
(If you're like to join Greg and Julia and the rest of IA's incredible
shark team on a Great White Shark Adventure in San Francisco, contact
us. White shark season in San Francisco runs from September 25
to November 13.)

Hollywood Top Gun Plane & Pilot
Featured on ESPN During Indy 500
An episode of the ESPN TV show Sport Science compared the g-forces
experienced in an Indy race car to the g-forces experienced in
a fighter jet. Show host John Brenkus flew the L-39 Albatross
with Hollywood Top Gun
stunt pilot Dave Riggs. The production team captured some
incredible aerial footage. See the clip here.
Come On Down - Our Beach Is Fine!
Actually, our beach is more than fine. Siesta Key Beach, located
just out the window from our Incredible
Adventures office, was just named the second-best beach in
the entire country in a national contest. (We got beat out by
some beach in New York. That's just wrong!)
Our local tourist folks are asking everyone to help spread the
word that our beaches are unaffected by the oil spill. It's
a great time to come to Florida and hang out on the beach. You
can stop off in nearby St Petersburg for an incredible zero-gravity flight with our friends at
Aurora Aerospace. (Call us if you'd like to go
weightless.)

Elzbieta flew a MiG-29
to the edge of space earlier this month. Although most of our adventurers
are men, all of our adventures are "female friendly."
(Might have something to do with the fact the president of IA is
a female!) |
