Out of a group of 40, only 6 people decided to do it - all girls. ;)

Anyway, we did it at a place called Skydive the Beach, a couple of hours south of Sydney. This is my only skydiving experience but I have to say I think this is a great place to go - the people are awesome, really funny and make you feel pretty relaxed, you get a DVD with a video and pictures of the skydive, and a great location - right over the beach so you have an incredible view of the ocean and all the way up the coastline to Sydney.

It doesn't last for very long so take it all in.

These guys do thousands and thousands of skydives a year so there's nothing to worry about.

There is no 'falling sensation' like you get on rollercoasters...

The only thing that happened with me is that my ears hurt a lot - happens to most people but it's no big deal, you only really notice it once you've gotten to the ground.
