I have always been terrified of heights, so I'm not quite sure how I ended up jumping out of a plane. Oh yes, I blame Jeff. I gave him a gift certificate for a tandem jump for Christmas because what's next after zip lining? One thing led to another and long story short, I found myself going along with him.
Skydiving is definitely something you should try at least once. Bucket list must!
Dale and Marcia are the most welcoming people ever! They make you feel like family right away. They even allowed our nieces and nephew to come along to watch and play with their pets while we waited. Dale did an awesome job scheduling (and re-scheduling thanks to Oklahoma weather), training and getting us ready for the big jump. I was very impressed with the amount of experience and professionalism they have. They did everything to put my mind at ease.
It is super easy to book your jump online. I would recommend the tandem jump (where you jump with someone) for beginners, and then take it from there. They have a small plane and can only take one person at a time, so keep this in mind if you're wanting to jump with a group.
Training takes about an hour, then each person's jump takes about 45 minutes. There were three of us, so we ended up being there for a while, but it goes by quickly! I kind of enjoyed having someone go before me and then after me. They have a video deal for $75 and you can pick your own song for it! That was the most nerve-wracking thing for me, picking the perfect song!
Skydiving was such an amazing, liberating, and surprisingly peaceful experience. I loved enjoying the view from up high. read more
