    A Sneak Peak

    A lot of people would want to know a detailed account of a skydiving experience, aside from that fact that an individual will be plummeting down at such a rapid speed. So what is it really like?

    The first few jumps can be likened to your very first ride in a bicycle, trying to get the right position and maintain stability. Like an experienced cyclist that started with having difficulties in staying upright, much less move forward without stabilizers, first timers will initially find it hand to get used to the freefalling experience. However, like any other activity you will get better after some time and practice. After a few dives, you will be able to do some simple turns and maneuver in the air more easily.

    Naturally, it can be quite nerve-wracking experience to sit on the plane and waiting for the right signal to jump. It’s only normal to have some last-minute panic attacks and second thoughts of actually going through the whole activity. This is expected for neophytes and even for some people who already had a couple of skydiving experience.

    At this point, it is important to stay focused and get a grip of your scattered wits. The fact that you are already up in the air, the hardest hurdle would have to be humping out of the plane. There is no other effective advise than to dive right in. If you are taking the tandem jump, where you will be physically strapped to the chest of a tandem master, you will not have to worry about constantly checking the altimeter and simply enjoy the whole experience. This is why this method is mostly preferred by people on their very first jumps.

    If you opt to have the Accelerated Free Fall (AFF) there will be two skydiving instructors will guide you every step of the way during your freefall by holding you firmly. Since you will not be able to talk, communications will be reduced to hand signals. You have to constantly check your altimeter to know if it is actually the right time for you to deploy your parachute. You will feel a strong jolt once your parachute opens up, and from then you will have a short leisurely ride to the ground. You will of course, try to find the drop zone where you will land and concentrate on landing softly and as uneventfully as possible.
