Dive of my life!
Skydive Hawaii rocked my world! Everyone there is fun, helpful, and serious adrenaline junkies :) Would you expect any less from professional sky divers? Everything about the experience is a blast. It all starts with signing a release form that acknowledges the risk and reality of death and dismemberment... oh yeah and the waiver of possible sexual harassment claims... that's when the adrenaline starts pumping. Then, you chill outside watching the people ahead of you fall out of the sky while Mary cooks you up some pizza. Its yummy, and I was told its better to keep a routine and not starve yourself, don't worry about getting queasy. You'll see your name posted along with your diving buddy and the two tandem masters. Tandem Master Marc took me on the dive of my life!! Sasha was my mom's tandem master (yes, my mom went sky diving!) and she felt completely safe with those big German arms around her! You ride out to the plane on a F-150, on the bed of course, Hawaiian style. Then you crawl into the tiniest plane I've ever seen and pack yourselves in, this might be why the sexual harassment release must be signed, haha. The view from the top is incredible; mountains, ocean, the reef, beautiful O’ahu passing beneath you, it gets cold up there so come dressed or get ready to snuggle up! Then, its time, your tandem master is totally strapped onto you and he begins to crawl out of the airplane… two seconds later you fall forward into the most incredible feeling of your life, FREE FALL. You totally forget the instructions that were given to you, but your tandem master keeps you in line; follow his lead and just enjoy. When the parachute opens you glide easily through the sky, twisting and turning and there are no words to describe. The landing is smoother than you can image and you’ll have the best adrenaline rush of your life. Worth the money, worth the wait, it’ll change your perspective on life. Thanks Skydive Hawaii!! Can’t wait to come back :)
