Skydiving?  Why would anyone want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane?

If you like adventure and are looking for a rush, then skydiving may be the sport you are looking for.  When you stop to think about it, what other sport or activity will allow you to freefall at speeds of up to 120mph. Not only do you get to freefall to the earth at blazing speeds, you also get to experience a peaceful parachute ride that will safely return you to the ground.

Have you ever wanted to learn to skydive but are unsure of what is expected or where to begin?  Do you even have questions about what type of skydiving equipment you would need if you decided to take up skydiving?  Well, this site is designed to help you with your questions and ease your concerns about skydiving.

Most people are already familiar with a Tandem skydive but are unaware that there are really three different jump options available for beginner skydivers. The easiest, wildly familiar and by far most popular option for first timers is the Tandem jump. However, just because Tandem skydives are the most popular, it doesn't necessarily mean that it is right for you.  Tandem skydiving doesn’t always appeal to everyone and for those that want more control and freedom during the jump there are other options.

Another option for fist time jumpers, that is not as popular as the tandem jumps, is the Static Line skydive.  Static Line jumps do give the skydiver a little more freedom then the Tandem skydives but do not offer the same amount of freedom as a solo jump.  However, if your interest is more around parachuting then a Static Line skydive may be exactly ideal for your first jump.

For the newbie that wants to feel the full effects of a solo skydive, there is always the option of an Accelerated Freefall (AFF) jump.  This site will cover in more detail about the tandem, static line and accelerated freefall skydives so that you can be better informed on the types of jumps that are available to you. 

Learning the different types of skydiving courses that are available to you is just the beginning.  It is also important that you become familiar with the equipment that you use.  As stated earlier, this site also goes over some of the basic skydiving equipment that you will use.
