Do you want to take the jump for a charity close to your heart? Are you an extreme sports lover that is yet to try a skydive? Or are you just someone who has a craving for an exciting experience that will give you something to remember for the rest of your life?
Not everyone has the courage to go through with a skydive or to even give it a second thought. If you do go through with it, it’s likely to be the most memorable experience you will have in your lifetime. There’s something liberating about giving up all control and handing over all responsibility to a complete stranger in those precious few moments as and after you take the jump. It can be incredibly empowering to do this, especially if you are someone who likes to be in control.
And, that’s not to mention the thrill of freefalling at speeds of 125mph through the sky before parachuting down to Earth again as you take in the views of the south coast.
