Why Adrenalin Quarry coasteering beats sea-based coasteering (2016)

Every kind of Coasteeering in Cornwall is a blast, if your instructors are well trained and they know the ground then you’re going to have fun at this extreme sport wherever you go.The sea brings a few variables that aren’t there in a quarry, some good, some not so good.

Choose a reputable company with decent track record that's registered with AALA (adventure activities licensing authority) for coasteering. To provide coasteering to U18s, you gotta be registered with AALA as far as I know.  If you’re a hard core bungee jumping badass then go coasteering with someone who knows the ground (and the water!) even if you’re too cool for school to pay for the pleasure.

  Sea based coasteering in Cornwall needs the right tide for jumping. The game changes when there’s several meters less water under the surface. The tide also  has to be right for allow access. Like Canyoning you’re dependant conditions at the time, which can swing from ideal to near death experience!

At Adrenalin Quarry Coasteering has a stable water level and the access won’t change. At Adrenalin Quarry we map the water and then create really high jumps for our action sports. This allows us to jump from higher up and do more crazy cliff diving stuff. Adrenalin Quarry is the only place you’re going to find an extreme bit of kit like The Blob, our human catapult that comes as part of your Coasteering & The Blob session.

 

Sea based coasteering is very weather dependant, if the conditions are heavy, you better be an expert. This can limit your options, particularly if you’ve got kids or a wide spread of ages. Check the tide for that day.

Quarry based coasteering is exclusive, only your party are going to be on the jumps and in that stretch of water. Coastal cliffs are public, you can get stuck behind another company with another group, particularly in season.

Some coastal providers are based a fair distance from the sea, so you’ll be jumping in your wetsuit or driving to the parking nearest your first jump. At AQ all the infrastructure is right there on site. You’ll either ride The Zip down to the Lake, or park by the Coasteering centre across the lawn from the water.

Safety is the real clincher, at Adrenalin Quarry we train for spine board rescues and have a safety boat in the water ready to go. If something were to go wrong we’ll get to you without any fuss.

Whenever you choose to go, use your loaf, don’t jump on your own, and go for a provider that knows its business. Have fun.
