It was my first time going skydiving and thanks to Skydive Tandem Team, I enjoyed an amazingly unforgettable flying experience and was especially amazed by the 60-second freefall!
Compared with the hours-long commuting, the whole process of tandem parachute jump lasted actually only for less than 30 minutes starting from getting on the aeroplane until flying to as high as 15,000 feet in the air and ending by landing on the ground. In spite of the fact that my ears were painful as a result of air pressure gap as well as my both cheeks went out of shape due to enormous air resistance, I must confess that I love the refreshing and exciting experience that skydiving brings me! What was hilarious was that I just could not control my upper lip flying up…
My buddy Terry is a very experienced and professional instructor, who has been working in this field for more than 16 years. He talked me through the procedure in detail while getting me suited up and was rather well-organised through giving me clear instructions. Most importantly, he was able to make me relax during this whole trip so that I could even hum to myself after the free fall, which was awesome!
