But do not worry! it’s quite natural and its absolutely okay.

Skydiving is a sport in which participants jump or fall from aircraft at altitude. They can perform an assortment of aerial manoeuvres before deploying a parachute to slow their descent, allowing them to come gently to rest on the Earth below. The sport is also known as parachuting, in a reference to that vital piece of safety equipment. People at different levels of physical fitness can participate in skydiving, as long as they are ready for an adrenalin-packed sport which can be both terrifying and exhilarating.

Types of Sky Dives

1. Tandem Jump

The simplest form of skydiving in India, here you are connected to an instructor via a harness. Both of you jump together using the same parachute and the instructor pulls the cord.

Note: You need only minimal instruction before this jump.

2. Static Line Jump

In this skydive you are connected with a cord to the aircraft. And the parachute opens automatically after around 3 seconds of freefall with no action required by the passenger.

Note: The jump is made from only 3000 feet and requires upto 6 hours of training.

3. Accelerated Free Fall

Not for the faint hearted – this one is the real deal, where you jump without any attachments and free fall. It is one of the most challenging experiences of skydiving in India.

Note: Obviously given the serious nature of this skydive, it requires both classroom instructions and practical training and is done from at least 13000 feet. So, which one is your pick? Hold on your breath daredevils ’cause you could go skydiving in India now!
