I had the opportunity this past November to try out indoor sky diving. You have to check this out. www.indoorskydivingsource.com/. You can see if there is a center in your area. They are all over the world and many in the U.K. . I turn 53 this year and have a bucket list.
This one I checked off.
It was a wild two minute ride but I had to do it. I thought it would be easier than jumping out of an airplane.

That looks awesome! It definately seems like something I'd try

Thanks DJ for fixing the pic. Yes it was a blast and pretty amazing flying in the air. One of the safety instructors held my feet so my legs didn't fly all over. It was a great experience for one time. As I said, I was able to take out one notch on my bucket list.

It was a blast and I am glad I had the opportunity. I know you Dive and that is my next task on my list. I found a place not to far from me who will certify me for diving. I will probably start this summer. I want to get my certification to go when I travel somewhere or to florida. I will then work on some equipment. Might take me a couple years but its my next goal. Take care and have a great weekend.

Well if I was close I would hook up with you. live in Northeastern, Pa. but going to be training in Syracuse , N.Y. They have Certified instructors who can teach and certify me. I checked it out. They have a really nice indoor facility and then do their open dives up in the 1000 islands. Looking forward to it. Once I am set, I will have to touch base. I want to spend sometime in Key Largo.

I would plan on June thru October time frame....that's when the water is at the warmest and clearest.

It will not be this year but you never now. Hoping to take all the certifications this summer. Key largo for 2017.
