A Basic Knowledge Of Skydiving


The sky is blue and the weather is so fine. The wind is blowing so gently that all you want to do is fly. Sitting on an airplane is not enough for you, but you don’t have wings to fly. What can you do to make your wish come true? Skydiving is the answer!
Tandem Skydiving
There are skills that you must have to ‘dive’ in the sky. If you have no experience, you can try tandem skydiving. Tandem skydiving is a kind of skydiving where you are physically attached to the instructor with a harness. With an instructor flying together with you, you don’t need to be confused about what you should do up there. You and the instructor will flare the same canopy for a nice soft landing. But before you reach the ground, you can enjoy the wonderful experience of leaving your aircraft off 13.000 feet from the ground, free falling for about one minute, descending with the parachute slowly for about 5 minutes to enjoy beautiful scenery and a cool breeze on your face. Experience is not needed but for your safety you’d better weight no more than 115 kilos.
