Once you\u2019ve chosen the very best dropzone (nudge, nudge), you still have a bit of work to do to prepare for the best possible tandem skydiving experience<\/a>. It isn\u2019t all obvious stuff, which is why we put together our best skydiving tips for beginners. Here\u2019s a quick checklist you can work through that will deliver first time skydiving gold. You\u2019re welcome!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Prepare Yourself Mentally For Skydiving.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A lot of people insist that they’ll pass out. They don’t. A lot of people think it’ll be easy for them. Sometimes, they’re a lot more challenged than they thought. <\/span>Loads<\/span><\/i> of first-time tandem skydivers are sure they’ll freak out in freefall. Usually, they’re amazed to discover that not only are they <\/span>fine<\/span><\/i>, they <\/span>love<\/span><\/i> it–and some land only to sign up for a <\/span>solo skydiving certification program<\/span><\/a> straightaway.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Often, fear of skydiving just echoes fear of the unknown. Sure, skydiving is scary<\/a>–but it\u2019s the kind of managed risk that\u2019s very, very healthy to face. Remember: Not knowing how you’ll feel is okay<\/i>. The important part is that you try<\/i>. Statistically speaking, hear this: You\u2019re braver and more adventurous than you give yourself credit for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The things you\u2019re worried about aren\u2019t going to happen, either: You won\u2019t experience a stomach drop; you won\u2019t feel like you\u2019re falling; you\u2019ll land infinitely more softly and smoothly than you imagine you will. Give yourself a chance to explore what\u2019s possible, and you\u2019ll automatically be giving yourself a chance to live more broadly and more adventurously in <\/span>general<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Dress Appropriately For Skydiving.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
