Typically the underwater journey may take you as far as 2.5 kilometres from your starting point, with a maximum bottom depth of around 15 metres. You can you fly along at eight to ten knots, aim for a boulder the size of a car, and at the last second zoom over the top. You are guaranteed to see trout down the river, and it is amazing what drops out of bungy jumpers' pockets!
