Have you been dreaming of taking up skydiving?  Does the thought of jumping out of a plane with a parachute strapped to your back and free-falling excite you?  An extreme skydiving adventure may be just the ticket for you.  If you are a risk taker and daredevil this is just the sort of exciting sport you would enjoy.

There are only a few of you out there with the nerves to leap from a plane falling at about a hundred miles an hour.  If the plane were at an altitude of fifteen thousand feet you would be in that free fall for a distance of almost twelve thousand feet before your trusty chute would open and drop you safely to the ground.

Obviously, you can’t just jump out of a plane completely unprepared. Skydiving lessons are a necessity, not just a good idea. There is of course a small degree of danger associated with extreme sky diving, so lessons are an absolute must. Skydiving certification can be obtained relatively quickly, depending on the particular skydiving instructors and methodology used. Sometimes you can become certified in as little as two days.

The knowledge you will gain from these highly trained expert instructors will be invaluable.  If you are not sure of something ask questions.  There are several key hand signals that are of vital importance for communicating with your comrades while sailing freely through the air.  You could easily send the wrong message if you have not listened carefully in class.


One mistake or a piece of faulty equipment can prove fatal.  Be sure that you know your pilot, you are familiar with the type of aircraft, all your equipment is in excellent condition, and you have learned all there is to know before taking a jump.

Be sure that you are well prepared and have the gained enough knowledge and are properly equipped before jumping.

Taking the lessons you have learned it is time to find your gear.  Your life depends upon the quality of the gear.  Rent or purchase through reputable sites.

Once you have passed the test and received your certification you are ready for an extreme skydiving adventure.
