One of the most common questions asked by people who never ever jump out of the airplane before at Dropzone Thailand is, “What does skydiving feel like?”. Well, it’s very difficult to capture in words exactly what it feels like to skydive for the first time. Many first-time tandem skydivers find themselves surprised when they land from their jump. The preconceived notions of skydiving often don’t live up to what it actually feels like to skydive.
You experience not only new physical sensations but also an influx of intense emotions. Skydiving can be compared to a musical piece in which the melody slowly crescendos, peaks, then gradually softens. During the airplane ride, the intensity slowly builds as you climb to 13,000 ft. The 15 minute airplane ride is a reality check for many people, you sit with your thoughts and ask yourself, “Am I really going to leave this airplane and jump out into the sky?!” The peak occurs when you reach altitude, move to the airplane door, leap out into the open sky and start freefalling. The parachute ride back down to the ground is quite soothing. This is when you really get to appreciate the beauty of the world from a birds-eye view.
Almost All of people imagine a falling sensation when they think about skydiving. Have you ever had one of those dreams where you’re falling and suddenly jerk awake with fright, your heart racing? It’s definitely not fun to wake up in such a discombobulating way. Luckily, skydiving doesn’t feel anything like that. It feels more like flying than falling. It’s very windy, loud, and intense. Your adrenaline is pumping and your senses come alive. Skydiving is quite breathtaking and gives you a refreshing, incredible perspective on the world.
Skydiving gives people such remarkable feelings of empowerment and accomplishment. Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to be Superman, soaring freely over Metropolis? Well, skydiving can easily be compared to flying in that way. The feelings you get when you skydive are very freeing. You feel like all of your potential has been unlocked, that you can now overcome anything. Many people walk away after their skydive feeling like a new person, more free and open to facing the challenges of the world. It sounds cheesy, but it’s true. After you skydive you feel like you can do anything.
Adding a Thailand skydive experience to your extreme activity resume is easy with Dropzone Thailand. You don’t need previous skydiving experience… the only thing a previous tandem skydive gives you is a better understanding of why people recommend DZT when asked where to skydive in Thailand. Experience the thrill of freefall over the beautiful scenes of East Coast Beach; skydiving will never feel and look as good as it does in Dropzone Thailand.
@Boatbluesky Wow… should be very thrilling free sky diving from the plane. Is that the pilot (uniform)?. Btw who is flying the plane now if the plane captain/pilot is out sky diving . Have a great day.
Wow looks like an exhilarating and adventurous experience @Boatbluesky . I cannot imagine me doing that for sure. I am so afraid of such sport, not afraid of heights but afraid of the parachute failing .
You @Boatbluesky really had the privilege of experiencing skydiving at the same time enjoyng a wonderful view over the beach in Thailand.Thanks for sharing that moment with us in Local Guides Connect.I think the picture is one selfie,is that right?
I don’t think I’ll ever be brave enough to try skydiving! But it’s good that there are people like you who bring the sky closer to us, timid souls.
