Skydive Experience
|
The vast majority of people who skydive with us have never done so before, so they are quite understandably a little scared. Hopefully the guide below will you help you understand the process involved making the whole event a little less daunting and enable you to have as much fun as we do! 1
Your experience begins as you arrive for your skydive. Our friendly 'frontline' crew will show you an examples of our DVD - maybe even one of someone thats just jumped , and then sit down with you and go through how your going to feel and what your going to experience !Then after a quick question and answer session they will then explain all the options available with regards to heights, camera options etc , etc .  2
When your Name goes on the board , its time to get "Geared Up " and your Instructor will call your name , introduce himself and take you through to the Gear up area . Here they will give you a jump suit and harness, hat and goggles and gloves if required ( normally in winter) . As they gear you up , they will give you all instruction required , very simple to follow as basically your going along for the ride and he will do everything to ensure you have a good time !  3
If you have made the wise choice to be filmed, your DVD starts now ! Your instructor will then.... so you can say hello to all your friends and family or just let them all know what your going to do and how your feeling !  4
You board the aircraft right out the front of the hangar. Our custom made PAC 750 XL will take approx 20 minutes to get to altitude, giving you plenty of time to take in the stunning scenery (and get more nervous- remember the more nervous you are the more fun you have- No Fear - No Fun!!!)  5
Get ready to say farewell to the plane. As the green light comes on the door gets opened and you feel that rush of air! You shimmy to the door until your feet are dangling over the edge. 3..2...1. out you go!!!!!  6
0- 200 kph in 8-10 seconds and then .... your freefalling - this is the adrenalin rush you have been waiting for. You don't feel like you're falling - its just like being on a huge cushion of air. The higher you go the more fun you have - take into consideration we as humans have no perception of height over approx 5,000 feet , so all your deciding is how much fun you want to have in the air !!!  7
Smile for the camera. If you decided to have your experience filmed then its time to interact with the camera, memories that will last forever are very hard to come by so remember to smile and enjoy - you can be as passive or as interactive as you want - in 4 weeks time your memories will start to fade, in 40 years time your DVD will still have all those memories there for you !!!  8
Your parachute opens at 5,000 feet! You catch up with yourself and start taking in the magnificent views as your Tandem Instructor steers you back to earth with a few rock'n'roll turns thrown in for good measure ! 9
Landing is very gentle as you lift your legs up and glide safely back to terra firma!!! Give your Instructor a big hug (or shake is hand)!!! Congratulations!!!! You have just completed your skydive!!!! |
