Leonardo de Vinci said, "For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been and there you long to return."

There is nothing natural about falling 13,000 feet through the sky!



Leaving the plane was the hardest part, especially since I had a death grip on the door, but free-falling through the sky at 200km/h was exhilarating; it literally took my breath away.



The wind felt like a cushion of air suspending me in space; it was more like I was floating than falling! Once the parachute opened, my instructor and I glided gently back to earth and I could see everything that southern California and parts of Mexico have to offer. Although the total dive time, from exiting the plane to reaching the ground, was only 8 minutes, when I touched the ground, I was on top of the world.

After skydiving in Maine, Switzerland and now California, Skydive San Diego was the best experience hands-down, as in my case with the following picture! The relaxed atmosphere, humorous instructors, top-notch facilities and  the newest, safest, and largest jumpships in the skydiving industry make Skydive San Diego a breath of fresh air.
