Extreme Skydiving
Skydiving Freefall
When you think of adrenalin sports and air adventures, skydiving usually comes to mind. sky diving has a long history both recreationally and throughout militaries.
Andre-Jacques Garnerin may have been the first back in 1797 when he successfully sky dived from a hot air balloon. Only in 1953 did sky diving become an international sport.
Typically your first jump will be tandem with an instructor who will first brief you on safety and how to position your body during the jump. Shortly after you will be up in the air peaking out at about 4, 000 metres (13, 000 ft) and this is when the nerves really kick in, particularly as you are edging closer to the door. Your instructor will make the jump and within seconds the plane you leapt from seems miles away.
Although the feeling is hard to describe, the skydiving freefall itself doesn't seem to give you a feeling of falling at high speeds, even though the skydiving freefall is huge. This is because the ground doesn't seem to get any closer until at last you arrive at the point where the instructor pulls the shoot. Some people believe that this would be the most frightening part of the extreme skydive however the deceleration is actually quite smooth.
Floating down to Earth is where you get to truly see the beauty of the land below and makes you really appreciate the beauty of the world we live in. For example skydiving the reef... that is the Great Barrier Reef. While most people who travel here they spend a day or two on a snorkelling tours and then have nothing else to do. But what if you could see this natural wonder while falling 13, 000 ft? It's literally a breathtaking way to view the Great Barrier Reef.
The skydiving freefall takes 5 to 7 minute and will just entice you to jump again and again. In no time you will be jumping solo and in groups of other sky divers plus once you are a pro then maybe you could even skydive in formation free falls. There are sky diving venues all over the world so if you want that adrenaline kick this is for you.
