My skydiving experience



Yes I did it. I jumped off a plane in Dubai, skydiving over the palm. 13,000 feet. It was the scariest, yet most exciting thing I have ever done. I was pissing myself. 3 hours later while writing this post, I can still feel the adrenaline. I was VERY nervous. But the second I jumped, I forgot everything.

All I can say is that it’s something you HAVE to do once in your life. It’s so amazing because the feeling is something your body, soul and mind cannot comprehend. The free fall is around 60 seconds. Then you spend 5 minutes gliding down when the parachute opens. The scene is amazing. The Palm, JBR, Burj Khalifa, crazy.

I was also very lucky to have the Hereditary Prince of Dubai, Sheikh Hamdan (Fazza) with us in the plane.

He was the first to jump, and of course jumped alone. (He’s the owner of center). What a great coincidence.

btw, if you’re claustrophobic, don’t even think about it. The plane is very small, and it’s very uncomfortable getting tied to another person!

Ahh I don’t know what else to say. got pics on this link. and the video is above.

The center is called Skydive Dubai. This is their phone number: +971 50 153 3222 .

Do they provide training/crash course/ the Dos and Don'ts before?

You are a courageous man my friend!
