Freediving 66 Feet Under the Ocean

Posted on June 7, 2017 by Peter Bateman | 2 Comments

Ever since I learned how to breath underwater with SCUBA, free diving was almost immediately next on my bucket list. Despite almost three years of diving, I’ve never had the time, or perhaps courage, to try it properly. However, thankfully with a little push from Desert Divers Dahab, I’m officially an AIDA free diver. Freediving might take place under water but…

Mammoth Lakes is majestic in a way that I didn’t even know possible. The natural beauty is grand and the name speaks to the size of the mountains, the expanse of the valleys, and the endless opportunities for adventure.

Free Falling Byron Bay with Skydive Australia

Posted on December 14, 2016 by Peter Bateman | 16 Comments

My typical idea of adventure is something like climbing a mountain, hiking into a jungle, or sailing to a deserted island. It’s about the journey and for a while I have kind of associated a “good” adventure with something that takes time and patience to achieve. Man, was I wrong! I just landed safely back on Earth after the team at…

I love being in the air. In my previous life, I must have been a bird. There is nothing that brings me more joy than soaring through the air with the wind on my face. It’s what draws me to skydiving. I still get that nervous feeling before leaving the plane but once I’m out the door and there is…

Most bucket list seekers are keen to discover more about vacation destinations beyond the resort. I’m always looking for adrenaline-filled ways to increasingly go beyond my comfort zone. When I think about Mauritius, I imagine calming blue waters and luxury at its finest, but its coastline and interior is ripe for exploration and adventure. Water sport is very popular on…

Posted on April 11, 2016 by Lesley | 22 Comments

Exotics Racing at Auto Club Speedway gave me all the adrenaline of racing an exotic supercar without the hefty price tag of buying the car, paying for replacement tires or fuel, or worrying about excessive insurance. I took an Audi R8 for five laps around the world’s only race track specifically designed for exotic cars and I never felt more…

9,100 feet of ziplines, 7 different monster zips, an hour hike uphill, and no escape route make the Monster course at Skull Canyon Ziplines one hell of an adventure. I’ve been testing out a number of adventures in southern California lately. My latest Skull Canyon Ziplines adventure was yesterday in Skull Canyon near Corona, California. I’ve been ziplining a number of…
