There’s a reason that all sky enthusiasts resonate with the sayings of Leonardo DaVinci. He captured the essence of what most of us feel after flying in a plane for the first time, soaring in a hang glider, or even jumping from a plane:
“Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you long to return.” – Leonardo DaVinci
If you are like us and have thought nothing else except for your skydive, and playing reruns in your head of the most spectacular parts – like, stepping out into the wind and feeling your heart in your throat as you tried to wrap your mind around what was happening, then before you knew it you were weightless in the sky…. then perhaps you’re prepared to take to the skies for your second jump!
HOW TO PREPARE FOR YOUR SECOND JUMP
- You’ll need to give us a call to book your second skydive as we plan our day giving priority to our guests who’ve made a reservation. Then you’ll need to confirm your reservation by paying for the second jump HERE (be sure to click on 2nd Tandem skydive).
- For many, now that you know a bit what to expect since you’ve made your first jump, you’ll still need to be sure to bring your photo ID, wear some sort of sneakers, comfortable clothes, tie your hair back, hydrate, and be sure to eat a light meal 45 minutes to 1 hour prior the jump.
- Arrive 10 minutes early to be sure you get parked, use the restroom (if needed), and sign-in on time to help keep our day on schedule.
- The basics still apply! Even though you’ve made one jump, all the little details of the instruction are still incredibly important to help keep you and your instructor safe! Please listen to your instructor!
- Have fun! Oh yeah – now you know what to expect, you’ll be surprised about the nerves you feel, but you may also be a little more aware of the experience too! You may notice the sound of the plane humming as it climbs, or notice more of the view in freefall, and find the airport under the canopy! It’s cool to see what starts to come in focus when you start to jump more!
WHO QUALIFIES FOR THE SECOND JUMP
Only those who’ve made their first tandem skydive with us here at Ultimate Skydiving Adventures qualifies for our exceptional deal of $99 for their second jump. We appreciate those who do their first jumps elsewhere, but if that’s you, our regular rates apply. This is all verified at the office upon check-in.
