Has skydiving in your bucket list for years but you never gathered enough courage to actually do it? Well, nothing is more exciting than rushing towards the Earth at a speed of 120 miles per hour after jumping off from an airplane. Skydiving is a rather exhilarating and intense adrenaline rush activity which cannot actually be described. To understand it, you have just got to try it yourself.  Listed below are a few tips that every first-time skydiver should be aware of.

Exercise Properly

You do not have to be physically fit in order to go skydiving. However, it would really be helpful if you indulge in a few stretches and warm up exercises so as to get your muscles feeling loose. You must remember that you going to be free falling from a great height and hence it is essential that your body is feeling entirely relaxed when it is in air. You can run in a place or do jumping jacks in the morning of the day that you are about to skydive.

Relax Your Mind

Jumping out of a plane scares some people so much that they decide not to skydive at all. It might seem easier said than actually done, but, skydiving is an unforgettable experience and you are paying for it. So it is important to relax so that you get to enjoy every penny that you spent. You can watch a few skydiving videos or read blogs of people who have experienced skydiving. Also, try not to react to any negative headlines that you might come across. You can also try to meditate to calm your mind.

Breathe and Take it Easy

When you are up in the air, it is important to know the proper way of breathing. Hyperventilation can be avoided by taking slow, deep breaths instead of quick, short successive ones. You must stay calm and listen carefully to our instructor who would guide you the through the whole thing expertly. Despite what might people think, breathing isn’t actually difficult and you would be able to breathe normally. In case you might experience any difficulty in breathing, it might be because your head is tilted low which causes the wind to rush into the nose at an odd angle. But you must not panic and just tilt your head backward and try breathing through the mouth if you find that necessary.

Safety is Crucial

You must never mistake the chilled personality of the instructor or his jokes as a sign of carelessness. Those are done so as to break the ice and make you feel comfortable. The instructors are professionally trained and know their job very well. Though, you must check if they are certified with a class D license and have completed 500 jumps or not. You can also go online to check if the credentials of our instructor and skydiving company are certified properly.

Choose your location and ask your instructor what you should bring. It is recommended to wear loose and comfortable clothing so that you can be comfortable. Now that you are ready to for it, go for skydiving and cross it off your bucket list.
