ELLE (Canada)

HIGH ADVENTURES

-

“I’ve never felt more like a dolphin,” says photograph­er’s assistant Victor Tate after trying out a “reef explor

er,” or a SeaDoo Seascooter, during a break from the ELLE Canada photo shoot at the resort. The personal underwater jetpack tucks under your body and lets you zoom through the water at up to five kilometres an hour and to depths of 40 metres—but you do have to remember to come up for air more frequently than a dolphin! (The even more adventurou­s can try a Flyboard, another type of jetpack that propels you up into the air.) On the day I’m set to try the reef explorer, the water is too choppy, so I go out on a catamaran instead. Sailor Vincent Leon points out the nearby reefs as we zip along the waves (the wind speed is a brisk 10 knots)—the dark patches are easy to spot amid the pale

turquoise zones. “On a calm day, you can see right down to the purple, yellow and blue corals,” he says. “It’s a great spot to snorkel.”
