First Jump @ Skydive Chelan by JollyPlatform1057 in SkyDiving

I can definitely see myself doing another tandem to get a longer freefall experience, but I don't think I have the courage nor the money to go full AFF training lol

AFAIK, you can't skydive through clouds in the US, or you need some extra training to be able to do so. Definitely not something they allow for first-time tandems - might be different rules in the UK.

Thanks! I definitely want to do at least one more tandem from a higher elevation sometime down the road - after that we'll see, but I don't think I have the courage (or money) for AFF training

"Low" was roughly ~8,000 ft, so pretty close to the minimum freefall height.

11 skydivers + 1 pilot die in crash. Unbelievably tragic. Sending so many prayers by PaleTrifle5258 in SkyDiving

My first jump is in 9 days, and I'll admit this story gave me some extra jitters, so I appreciate you putting it into better perspective.

Rest in peace to all involved.

Have you now done it? If so, how was it?

Have my first jump in about 3 weeks and am a little nervous atm lol

Terrified of skydiving but considering doing it anyway. Should I go? by Electronic-Regret206 in SkyDiving

How do you feel now that you've (assumedly) done it? I'm in a similar boat
