Adrenaline Filled Activities in San Diego

It’s good to step out of your comfort zone and spend some time getting a little uneasy and maybe even a little bit scared. According to psychologist Christine Louise Hohlbaum, “Fear is a tricky human emotion. It can paralyze you. It can keep you from your dreams. It can keep you small. But fear can be your friend in just the right doses”. One way to embrace some healthy fear is to take advantage of some adrenaline-filled activities. These are adventures that our fear often holds us back from, but taking the leap is usually rewarded by unforgettable memories. San Diego offers a lot of different activities that will get your adrenaline pumping and help you conquer and embrace your fears:

Skydiving

There’s nothing that will make you feel more badass than jumping out of a plane. Skydive San Diego offers tandem jumps and the view from the sky (once the parachute deploys and you’re able to take it all in) is epic.

Paragliding

Torrey Pines Gliderport is the most historic aviation site in north America. The view of Black’s Beach and Torrey Pines State Park is breathtaking, and you’re in the air for a glorious 20-30 minutes. Adrenaline will build as you watch others soar off of the cliffs and wait for your turn to fly.

Scuba-diving

We live by the water, but how much time do we really spend getting acquainted with what lies beneath its surface? Scuba-diving offers a closer look at the mysteries of the deep. Beginner diver courses are offered at Ocean Enterprises in Bonita.

Water Jetpack Flight

Jetpack America offers pre-flight training at beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. Their motto? “Stop dreaming. Start flying.” Jet packing feels like a combination of jet skiing, skydiving, parasailing and even scuba diving. The jet ski provides the propulsion to get you flying and there is the exhilaration of skydiving. You’ll get fantastic airborne views of the area around you as you would with parasailing, and when you dive under the water, there are elements of scuba diving.

These adrenaline-filled activities will give you memories that will last a lifetime and show you the rewards of stepping outside of your comfort zone to embrace your fears.
