A really giant stride

Coast stuntman parachutes into reef dive.

According to the goldcoast.com.au stuntman Gulliver Page parachuted from a helicopter into the waters off the Great Barrier Reef. The Burleigh Heads performer is one of 20 filmmakers and storytellers selected to take part in the 1 Day in Paradise project, with the aim of filming their "paradise" on a portable camera to win $75,000.

Page told about his stunt: "We went for a flight in a helicopter out on the reef, jumped out of the chopper. I cut away from the parachute and jumped into the water." Mr Page said he then went scuba diving as part of his two-minute video and said he was hoping for a point of difference to the other entrants. The stuntman said using a GoPro camera was an innovative part of the challenge.
