The Ultimate in Low Level Flying

If you want to fly high, to Super Aviator submersiblethe edge of space, then you go to Russia for a MiG-31 flight or Cape Town for a flight in the English Electric Lightning. If you want to fly low, as in deep beneath the sea, then you'll want to get yourself to the Bahamas this August.

We're excited to announce the debut of The Super Aviator, a one-of-a-kind two-seat submersible designed to "fly" underwater, much the way a fixed wing aircraft would. The Super Aviator features the latest in underwater technology and allows you to witness the wonders of the ocean without getting wet.

The Aviator is taking time out from her work with film crews and undersea explorers to travel to the Bahamas, so her owners, Sub Aviator Systems, LLC, can train a new crop of underwater pilots.  For two weeks, she'll be based at Port Lucaya on Grand Bahama Island, near Freeport.

A limited number of spots are available in the upcoming Bahamas SAS Flight School. The cost of the Sub Aviator Pilot program is $15,000 and covers three intense days of personalized training, multiple flights, support crew services and underwater video. During your training, you'll learn to command the sub pilot past shipwrecks, along delicate reefs and more.

An introductory piloting course is also being offered that includes initial land training and a single "sea exploration" flight. The cost of the one day, one flight program is $4950. To view video of the Super Aviator in flight and see more great photos, visit our website. For more info on SAS Aviator Flight Training, call or email us today.

Join SharkyJill in the Bahamas in July

Shark Diving in the BahamasOur very own shark girl Jillian Morris will be leading another tiger shark adventure in the Bahamas July 19th.  No diving experience is necessary to dive in crystal clear water with some very big tiger sharks and lemon sharks. Our shark cage floats just below the surface so you can snorkel or breathe air from our onboard hookah system. The cost is $875 for cage divers and $375 for topside viewers. 

From Wheelchair to Weightless

Zero Gravity Flights"Hi Greg!
 
Our flight was fabulous!  We had so much fun.  Randy & I were a bit concerned about the logistics of my wheelchair and special requirements but  Ed and the entire Z-G team in Las Vegas went out of their way for us....  I loved it, thank you for your assistance, We're definitely going again as soon as possible." - Janet
 
Don't assume a physical disability will keep you from enjoying any of our incredible adventures. Tell us what you'd like to do and if there are no safety concerns and you have the blessing of your doctor, we'll do our best to make it happen.
 
For more information about our zero-gravity adventures, visit our website or give us a call.
 
Sometimes a Nephew is a Good Thing to Have

MiG Flights in Russia

Steve surprised his uncle with the gift of a MiG flight in Russia. The pair flew earlier this month and had a great time. Here's an excerpt from an email Steve sent to us:
 
"The trip was great, the pilots fantastic - really good guys, I was very impressed. The cloud cover was a little disappointing for the view of the earth below but still an out of this world experience.
 
My uncle couldn't believe it - that was off the charts for him, literally. I think we all had a laugh when the nurse had to ask him about his sheep on the farm to help him relax for the blood pressure test before he flew!"
 
Thanks for Keeping an Old Plane Flying
 
Dan Gryder, the owner and pilot of "our" DC-3 near Atlanta, publishes his own email newsletter. Here's an excerpt from a recent edition that we think is worth sharing:
 
"The gauges are old, the airplane smells like hydraulic fluid on the inside, we have no air conditioning and the controls are heavy. This is not an operation for the refined. Why do they come? It's because the DC-3, like so many warbirds, is rare and getting rarer by the day. The cost and supply of fuel and oil and parts is going to be the final nail. The only way I can keep my airplane going is through people willing to rent the old girl in pursuit of some memories. So, for all of you who have flown it, my thanks for keeping at least one old DC-3 alive. And, for those of you thinking about trying it, I look forward to flying with you!"
 
To learn how you can fly with Dan in his legendary Herpa DC-3, visit our website or give us a call at 800-644-7382.

HALO Adventure Relocates

Tandem HALO JumpingOur Tandem HALO Jump adventure has left the land of Elvis for a new home in the big town of Lumberton, Mississippi. (We're being sarcastic...the last census shows a population of 2,228.) The new drop zone is a 90 minute drive from New Orleans, LA and a 60 minute drive from Gulfport, MS, a town best known for its waterfront casinos.

First Pirate Dive Festival Proves Educational

Shark DivingWe learned something a little surprising when we took part in the 1st Annual Pirate Dive Festival here in Sarasota earlier this month. We learned that there are a whole lot of people who are terrified by the idea of diving with sharks.  

Here's what we say to them. Don't be such scaredy-cats. Face your fears! Sharks are more afraid of you than you are of them. (So... maybe that's not true, but it sounds good.) No one has ever been eaten by a shark on one of our trips.

You don't have to be a diver to join us for a one-day tiger shark adventure in the Bahamas, a one or two-day great white shark expedition in San Francisco or a great white liveaboard adventure in Mexico.  Our dives take place in shark cages (technically, they're people cages) and under the watchful eyes of certified dive instructors.

For more info, email or call Sheri or visit www.cagediver.com.
