Default Skydive Dubai

Anyone on here done this?

Currently trying to think of a great new years resolution and i think this is a must

I did the highest bungee in the world in South Africa a few years ago and have wanted to try a skydive ever since!

You should definitely do it. It is a great experience. I did a sports parachute course when I was in the RAF. Exhilarating ..go for it sweetie.
This is a great video of Sky Dubai

I'm booked in to do mine next week. The missus did it last year and loved it, the Palm is the best one to do as you get a DVD of the jump (each tandem jump gets their own assigned jumper to record just them).

Despite disliking heights and being terrified I am thinking about doing this. Every few years I do something totally out of my comfort zone and this would fit the bill.

Hmmmm.

I'm doing mine this Friday. The initial bravado when booking the jump is slowly being replaced with apprehension. I get shaky on our 9th floor balcony.

Please let me know how you get on. If you survive that may be more persuasive for me to do it.
