Mexico Puerto activity in which a person is towed behind a vehicle while attached to a specially-designed parachute.
An activity in which a person is towed behind a vehicle (usually a boat) while attached to a specially-designed parachute known as a parasail. If the towing vehicle is powerful enough, two or three people can parascend behind it simultaneously. This activity is particularly popular in overseas locations with warmer climates. If parascending abroad, the BHPA qualifications and regulations are not applicable. The Leader will need to make enquiries as to the reputation and safety standards of the activity provider. An International Adviser or Outdoor Activities Adviser may be able to help. The parasailer has little or no control over the parachute but this activity is popular at beaches and lakes throughout the world. There are many commercial operators who can take you out for a trip and they must adhere to safety regulations. Imagine gliding through the air watching the action below on the waves whilst taking in a panoramic view of the resorts and the magestic well imagine no longer! Parascending, which is essentially a parachute towed behind a speed boat, is the nearest thing you'll experience to a parachute 'drop' without the fear of course a little adrenalin rush never hurt anyone. You'll be in the air for approximately 10 minutes which will give you ample time to feel that freedom of flying and seeing the world from a birds eye view. If you fancy a quick 'dip' the experienced crew will slow things down to just the right level to get your feet wet or more if you want!
