That's right. Skydiving! Moi! uh huh.
I did a tandem dive at 8000 feet and now I'm utterly hooked. No words aptly describe the feeling you get when your andrenalin pumps and the exact moment you tumble out of the plane, do a 360 degree roll, and onto the clouds. Heaven does not come close.
Oh then the free fall. We got about 15 seconds of arms splayed, knees bent, wind rushing up experience. Just took my breath away, literally. 15 seconds is too short.
At about 2000 feet, Dave (that's the instructor) opened our parachute, and it was all gliding from there. He let me steer for a while and we went round in circles for a bit, admiring the gorgeous West Australia scenery. Beautiful, goes without saying. Dave gave me a bit of an alarm when he started to loosen my reins a minute after he opened the parachute, I thought he was gonna let me fall! Fortunately he said "Just to give you some room there", whew.
So here we go! All is well and safe. One happy instructor and one addicted parachutist. Next round I wanna go up to 14000 feet. -grins-
