SKYDIVING
Skydiving is the perfect activity for a groom who is into heart-pounding action and feeling the adrenaline rush – he’ll never forget his bucks party weekend when he looks back on it years from now. Imagine the thought of jumping out of a plane thousands of feet in the air surrounded by your best mates – -sounds pretty epic to us!
While skydiving isn’t for the faint of heart, tandem jumps – which mean you jump attached to a well-experienced and educated skydiver – allow you to enjoy the thrills without having to worry about all the technical aspects of jumping out of a plane and engaging the parachute. If this is your first time, the last thing you are going to be thinking about is what to pull when and where to land – use the tandem experience to simply float over the earth and marvel at the stunning sights below!
During your skydiving experience, you’ll be quickly educated on some of the most important tips and recommendations before you head up into the sky. Various centres also allow you to choose the altitude you go up into – if you want the thrill of skydiving without getting too extreme, you can opt for lower altitude jump and still enjoy the scenic benefits and action. Here are a few other tips to keep in mind during your skydiving excursion:
Wear comfortable clothing
You want to be comfortable on your dive, especially with the gear strapped to your chest and legs. The harness should also be able to fit over your clothing, so keep that in mind. Never wear any flip flops or opened toed shoes, always wear shoes that are sturdy and completely attached.
Make your reservations
Depending on the time of day, week or season, diving centres could get full rather quickly. Since you’re planning a bucks party weekend and don’t likely have the luxury of coming back at another time, always book your skydiving activity in advance to secure a spot for you and the best mates.
Take minimal items
There might not be any place in the centre to store your belongings and valuables, so leave them at home or lock them up in the trunk of your vehicle. The drop zones might not be close to the centre either, so keep that in mind when planning the day.
