You launch from a low-slung speedboat and, in a single heartbeat, the coastline opens beneath you—turquoise flats, a ribbon of white sand, palms tilting toward the sea like onlookers. The parachute fills and the boat tugs; you rise cleanly to roughly 150 meters (about 500 feet), suspended above Bavaro’s surf with the wind pushing confidence under your wings.
