The feeling of breathing under water is tremendous! If you love nature in all its majesty, u must not miss this. 80% of the entire biomass of the planet is under water and reefs and life in the reefs are dwindling as I typed this.
If you think the discovery channel is great, u ain’t seen nothing yet! I’ve swum with Manatees, and witnessed a bird dive 30 feet and chase a fish for a whole minute..all in 360 degree vision with tactile surround sound. Life is wonderful!

It doesn’t really hit you until the back door of the plane opens and you see yourself staring at terra firma 14000 ft below. By that point you’re already in line, and people at the top of the line are already jumping. Then, u move up and the person infront of you jumps, and your heart wants to jump out of your body, not wanting to have anything to do with this. At that point, u quickly reconcile to the fact that the person you’re tied to (tandem jump) isn’t as stupid as you are, and that he/she knows what they’re doing.
Then u jump. It is simply awesome! After 10 seconds u reach terminal velocity (120 kmph i think), and ur a bird. You can change directions, tumble, roll…and its simple great. 1.5 mins flies by sooner than u’d imagine. Then u hit the chute, and its a long slow descent back to the pad, u can have some fun here too..if u can stomach it ;)
PS: I recommend u get the video the first time around. Coz I haven’t gotten myself to go back again :)
