Skydiving
Skydiving to many is the ultimate thrill and rush, to others the sum of all fears!!!! However more and more people are literally taking the plunge. Skydiving for beginners is at all times undertaken under the strictest supervision and Beginners jumps will be preceded by classroom and practical sessions where you a complete over view of all the safety factors involved, how to leave the aircraft, balancing techniques and how to land properly, including ‘chute retrieval. Beginners jumps will be tandem jumps, accompanied by an experienced Skydiver , you won’t be let loose on your own until you’ve got a few jumps under your belt!!! The experience itself is described as both extremely exhilirating and peaceful, people testify that when the ‘chute deploys and you’re floating to the ground there is a quiet tranquility and serenity about the whole experience.

Some frequently asked questions:
How long does a skydive last?
The freefall time in a Skydive depends on the altitude. From 9,000 feet you'll freefall for about 30 seconds, from 13,000 feet it's about 60 seconds and from 18,000 feet. it's 90 seconds. The parachute will be deployed at 5,000 ft., so you'll have another 4 minutes before you land.
What happens if the parachute doesn't open?
In the unlikely event that the main parachute doesn't open properly, there is always a reserve parachute in the top of the container.
Skydiving for many is something they would like try at least once, even if it’s just to say they’ve conquered their fears and actually done it!! Nowadays there are many facilities for Skydiving lessons, often with the added incentive of raising money for charity at the same time, so go ahead and take this giant leap today!!!
