Two choices of first jumps.

1) Tandem, you get to free fall and have a person attached to your back that wants to get down alive, costs more.

2) Static line, you only go to about 3500 feet and your parachute opens right away no real freefall, if you mess up you die or just get hurt, Cost is less.

I have never done a tandem but I have jumped out of a plane 120 times and plan to do it again one day.

Note skydiving is a hobby that costs more then a saltwater tank so be careful its very very addicting

Lol. Ill probably go with the tandem as I get to free fall longer. If I could free fall solo as long as I could tandem then I would go solo, but I guess I would work my way up to solo.

Man, I have to stop getting into these damn expensive and addicting hobbies!
