If you are thinking about trying skydiving for the first time, I recommend going to Oahu, Hawaii, the sea is really beautiful from a height❤️
high
There are two heights of 14000-15000ft (60s free fall) and 9000-11000ft (20s free fall), and the normal prices are $274 and $254 respectively. The staff said that the fear brought by the two heights is similar, the higher the height, the more afraid it is, and the higher it is, the less afraid it will be. I chose the 14000ft one.
photos and videos
There are two categories: Outside cameraman and handicam. This should be selected before skydiving. After the selection, you must buy at least something, and you can’t just buy nothing. Outside cameraman means that there is another person with a camera on his helmet who skydives with you and can take full-body photos. Handicam is to carry GoPro on the coach's arm, and take a selfie perspective. Outside cameraman will be a bit more expensive. Each category has options for photo, video, and photo-video combo, which can be selected after skydiving and seeing the finished photo and video. I chose the photo video combo of outside cameraman, $280. The suggestion for taking pictures is to take a little more time for each pose, because the photos are captured at fixed intervals, and the poses can be taken for a longer time to capture good poses.
to experience
After the jump, the acceleration is smaller than expected, and the feeling of free fall is not very strong, even weaker than the feeling of free fall on the jumping machine roller coaster. It may be because of the large wind resistance, or it may be more adaptable to free fall for a long time. Due to the rapid drop in height, the ears will be more painful, and there is no time to adjust the ear pressure. After the parachute is opened, the coach adjusts the direction, and I will feel motion sickness💫. Note❗️Raise your legs when landing, let the coach land first, otherwise it is easy to get injured. The whole is very exciting and very fun, you can see the entire Oahu Island and the coastline, very very beautiful ️ worthwhile trip! recommend!
