Looking for something "unique" to do.

Hey everyone! I was wondering if anyone could help me out here. I am looking for something unique to do with my friends while we're on the island. There are about 10 of us, all in our mid 20's looking for something a little different to do. We've considered the basics, ie. Scuba diving, deep sea fishing, underwater scooters, ATVs...blah blah blah. I was just curious as to what other options we may have here. I wanna make this a trip to remember. It will be my fourth time down, but the first time with a group of buddies (and wild ones, at that). We'll be there from August 18-29. Any suggestions would help. Thanks so much.
-Erik

I actually saw a few people coming down in parachutes North of the High Rises. I wanted to check it out, but the DW shot me down!

I would definitely try the Jolly Pirates on a weekend. Didn't get much snorkeling done, as the open bar and thongs where just much more appealing. If you get a on the right boat with a good group the day will lead into the night and you will have a great story to remember

How about kite-surfing? That looks like fun. There is a place that rents equipment and gives lessons about 1/2 mile down from the Marriott Stellaris.
