Diving is no longer a sport just for the worlds amazing underwater adventurers. Over the last few years, sky diving has become very popular with travelers across the globe. If you are an adventurer out looking for something new to get your blood pumping, sky diving may be something you are interested in giving a try.
Otherwise known as parachuting, sky diving became an international sport in 1951, though competitions date back 20 years before. Now, with adventure vacations becoming more popular in the tourism industry, most anyone can try their hand at the sport of skydiving. Most times, a group will be taken to the air to a designated drop zone free from obstacles at about 13,000 feet. You truly free fall with no parachute for about one minute, before you pull the rip cord and inflate your parachute. Then it is just a gentle float to the ground with nothing but you, spectacular views and a sense of accomplishment.
There are different types of sky diving for the novice to give a try. Some types of sky diving are tandem sky diving, or an accelerated freefall sky dive. There is a big difference in these types of sky diving.
A tandem sky dive is an easy way to begin, it helps you get the feel without actually having to go through much of the training involved with a solo freefall. With tandem sky diving, you will still experience falls up to 120mph, but will be strapped to an experienced sky diver already accustomed to jumping. A great way for the novice to experience the excitement of sky diving.
An accelerated freefall is a more advanced way to learn to sky dive. An accelerated freefall is also known as a progressive freefall in Canada. This is a fast way to learn to be able to solo freefall. You will be jumping with others in tandem and includes safety measures that allow instructors to assist divers in the deployment of their parachute should something unexpected happen. After multiple accelerated freefalls, you will be able to jump on your own. Explore the skies on a sky dive adventure. Whether novice or expert, the experience and excitement of a sky dive adventure is one you are sure to remember for the rest of your life.
There are many destinations considered great for freefalling, though it is not difficult to find places to sky dive all over the world. Here are a few of the most popular places. If you are interested in a sky dive vacation, some of the best destinations in the U.S. include Montana, Florida, Hawaii, California, Colorado, Oregon, Utah and Washington.
