Skydiving 101

What to Expect on Your First Skydiving.

I’ll be honest—my stomach dropped the second I stepped into the helicopter. The roar of the fans, the strange suit, and the thought of “floating” in the air made me wonder if I’d made a mistake. But once I lifted off, Skydiving for beginners turned out to be one of the most fun, safe ways to feel like you’re actually flying.

Tips for Your First Flight:

Arrive early: You’ll get a short briefing and training video. Pay attention—it covers posture, hand signals, and safety basics.

Relax your body: Keep arms bent, chin up, and legs slightly apart. The more relaxed you are, the smoother your flight.

Listen to your instructor: They’ll guide you with hand signals inside the tunnel.

Don’t fight the wind: Work with it. Small movements make big differences.

Tip: Your first flight will usually last 1–2 minutes—about the same as a real skydive freefall!
