This was the first skydive that I had done and, like most others I am sure, I was very nervous. All of the staff at the centre were so friendly that my mind was put to ease and taken away from the fact that I was jumping out of a plane some 10,000 feet above the ground!
We did have a bit of a wait for our jump as there had apparently been some bad weather the day before so those postponed from the previous day were taking priority. We eventually jumped about 3 hours after we were due to. This wasn't a problem though, the facilities at the centre were great, lovely little cafe and plenty of outside tables to sit and watch the other jumpers doing their thing.
The instructor I was strapped to was brilliant his name was Shane, he knew I was nervous but put my mind at ease and made me laugh a lot.
I would certainly recommend this to anyone and would definitely do it again. I would also highly recommend having a freefall cameraman too, I was against that before the day but when I changed mind there were no wristcams available. I am so glad as I now have a video of the whole thing and can relive it and show all my friends and family.
