+1. However there are 4 things on my bucket list
1. go scuba diving in the great barrier reef
2. spend as much of my life as i can in the sea
3. visit the amazon rainforest.
4.own a huge aquarium. Then when i die donate it all to someone who has a passion for fish and a really close friend of mine.

Skydiving. Because it lasts at least 5 minutes longer than bungee jumping?
I'm actually taking skydiving off my bucket list on November 20th when me and a couple of buddies will be doing a tandem jump in Vegas (No Elvis thank ya very much..). The people I know who've jumped say once you get over the intial jump out of the plane, you lose that feeling of falling (when you reach maximum terminal velocity). You're dropping at an average of 120-140MPH, but it doesn't feel like it. I'll be jumping out at 15,000 feet, and will do a 60 second free fall before the chute gets popped. Then it's a 5-7 minute flight down to the ground. Guess if you didn't pop the chute, the entire jump would probably take 3-4 minutes.

Neither, I have a back condition that makes those activities, even if successful, quite dangerous.
I am fully in agreement on the scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef. I would just hope to not be the diver left by the boat.

Some guy from Houston just got nailed by a Great White diving off the Barrier last week. He went down by himself under the boat, and all of a sudden, the other people on the boat saw blood coming up from underneath.
CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — A great white shark has killed an American diver in the second fatal shark attack off Western Australia in 12 days.
Police Sgt. Gerry Cassidy says the man was below water Saturday when a witness on the dive boat "saw a large amount of bubbles." The body soon surfaced with fatal injuries. The shark was described as a 10-foot great white.
Cassidy said it happened off the tourist spot of Rottnest Island in overcast conditions. Sharks attack more often in cloudy weather.
Police said the 32-year-old American was living in Australia on a work visa. His identity and hometown weren't available.
Rottnest Island is 11 miles from a popular Perth city beach where a man was believed taken by a great white October 10th.

Wow,who'd think something like that would happen out in the open ocean. I always thought great whites were more likely to attack humans in the shallows.
