If you want to skydive, you have to learn a few things
before make the jump and what better place to learn this is in a skydiving
school or center.
There are skydiving schools spread out in the US. You can
find one by looking for it using the web. From there, you can visit them and
ask about their rates.
People who are new to skydiving cannot jump from a plane by
themselves. They have to undergo ground training first and jump with an
instructor. The most common example is tandem skydiving where the instructor is
strapped to the back of the newbie and they make the jump. The newbie does not
do anything except enjoy the view until they reach the ground.
For those who want become a licensed skydiver, the next step
is to learn how to jump off a plane and then pulling the cord. Before you can
do that, you will be introduced to static line jumping where your backpack is
attached to a cord that will automatically deploy your parachute once you get
off the plane.
After a few jumps, you will now pull a cord that does not
activate anything but simulate the release of the parachute. Once you have
completed, you will now do the real thing.
But if you want to skip that and get your skydiver’s
license, you can do so by enrolling the AFF or the accelerated free fall. After
jumping off the plane and free falling for about 50 seconds, you will deploy
your parachute then slowly make it to the ground. This program is much cheaper
in the long run and more fun compared to the static line method.
