Diving with TGI: Beneath the Surface with the Best in the Business

When Yamaha invites you to southern Portugal for a weekend of Waverunner mayhem, you don’t ask questions. You say yes, you pack your loudest swimwear, and you prepare for thrills.

The Setting: Portimão

Portimão — a sun-drenched, yacht-dotted playground on the Algarve coast. The kind of place where bronzed retirees sip vintage rosé while tech millionaires rev their tenders like they're in Fast & Furious: Mediterranean Drift.

My son Ben and I are self-proclaimed water adventurers, happiest when zipping across the waves on powerful motorised watercraft – better known as WaveRunners. Nothing beats the adrenaline rush of carving through water at high speed, and we’re always looking for new thrills.

From Nxamaseri Island Lodge, we took a boat, a 4x4, and then a light 8-seater plane flying southeast (with me as co-pilot), before finally hopping back into a 4x4 to reach Leroo La Tau in southern Botswana. This lodge sits on the Boteti River, which forms the natural western border of the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park.

Botswana is one of the most remarkable countries in the world. This landlocked gem in Southern Africa, home to just 2.5 million people, is celebrated for its breathtaking landscapes, thriving wildlife, and strong commitment to conservation. Botswana artfully blends natural beauty with forward-thinking progress. It's also home to over 130,000 Elephants, 11,000 Giraffes, 15,000 Hippos, 1,200 Lions and 10,000 Zebras. I have been on safaris where you were lucky to spot one or two elephants at a time. In Botswana, it's more like Elephant Piccadilly at rush hour.

Club Med Alpe d’Huez is a luxury all-inclusive resort nestled in the enchanting Savoie ski area, ideal for every type of ski holiday. Guests can relish ski-in ski-out access to an expansive 250km ski domain or embark on an exhilarating dog sledging adventure. They can bask in the breathtaking views from the resort's sunlit balconies or indulge in some lively après-ski in the elegant lobby bar.

Only, that's in winter, in summer, it is even more amazing. 

Back in 2009, a magazine was launched called Adventure Bike Rider magazine. It was the brainchild of Alun Davies, ABR Founder and Publisher. 

ABR Magazine was perfectly placed to take advantage of the huge, gaping hole in the UK motorcycle media for a magazine that focused on the booming adventure bike sector.

Audi, In a stroke of creative genius that amply demonstrates their spirit of adventure, sponsored the 2023 Queens Cup Balloon Race.

Definitely one of the most exciting and thrilling races I have ever covered. Imagine a fusion of rally car driving, classic yacht racing, Georgian airships and three-dimensional chess and you have a rough idea of the Queens Cup Balloon Race. Now throw in a massive sprinkling of great British eccentricity and a dash of those magnificent men in their flying machines and you're there.
