Tandem Sky Diving - Experience

  • Great view.
  • Adrenalin rush.
  • See the world from a different perspective.
  • A tale to tell.
What is involved: 

Book in advance, turn up early, get on the gear, meet the sky diver whose life you putting your hands into, go through the drill, jump on the plane, jump off the plane, jump back on the plane, fly, jump again ... enjoy the experience.

How long does a sky dive take? A 13,000 feet jump typically takes around 5 to 8 minutes, including a free-fall of about 60 seconds. However, time will probably feel distored.

Less than two hours
Additional Comments: 

While the jump itself will only take a few minutes, the preparation, waiting and flight may add up to over an hour.
