my friend lives in citrusdal where they have a skydiving club. i'm waiting for industrial strength nappies then i'll be plummeting to earth like a normal joe does. i can smell the nappies already.
seriously, skydiving is definately one of the things i want to do before i peg.
Take or give, depending on the club, to do the First Jump SL course is about R800. That includes the first jump. After that you are on Static Line progression for about 15 to 20 odd jumps to graduate. Then there is another 7\8 jumps left in Intermidiate Skills Progression, after which you get you A license.
In AFF (Accelerated FreeFall) you have 8 to 10 jumps with docked instructors initially, after which you do ISP to get your A license. The AFF part costs between R7500 and R9000, depending on the club and instructors.
I have to agree with Stevo... when I went up the Eifel tower with my child i clung to the sides and did not even go near the windows... I will rather SCUBA.. its far prettier and NOT so dangerous.
Off course Mr Traveler is an adrenaline junkie... *g*
"Integrity" and "integer" both contain a Latin root meaning "whole; complete." The root sense, then, is that people may be said to be acting with integrity when their beliefs, words, and actions have a sense of unity or wholeness.

Firstly, its so high that it's not the same feeling as looking over a cliff and secondly, you get so charged up by the guys before the jump, that when you realize what is going on, you are already landing.
Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience…
