If you had to choose one...which would you do?
skydiving i would love to do, but before you do skydiving in england you have to do 10 parachutes jumps first, i think thats right but sure someone will correct me if i'm wrong, i was going to do a parachute jump but as i'm over 40 yrs old i have to do a medical first, that i can't be arsed with, but one day i definately will.
skydiving. already scuba..... I would love to plunge to the floor of the earth from high altitudes thinking that my parachute was not going to open because iv seen to many movies.. Oh that would be a rush from heaven...
That's a hard question.. I haven't done any of the three and I plan on doing all of them but if I had to choose, I'd say scuba diving.
skydiving is where its at. Closest ive been to skydiving was parasailing, it wasnt as much an adrenilane rush as it was relaxing.
EDIT: Man, now that I think of it I wanna go to the beach.. :(
I would have to say hang-gliding and scuba diving. Sky diving is the shit no feeling can ever compare to the high you get skydiving, my old man was a professional skydiver and tandem master. Thats how the bills got paid around the house and unfortunatley he died doing what he loved
never gone hang gliding but i bet its a blast, and i love the outdoors so i know im gona like scuba diving to
My greatest fear is of heights .I would like to conquer that fear one day but for now I ll stay on earth .Scuba diving ..The Great Barrier Reef would be my first dive ,then I would like to try cave diving now that would be an experience to remember.
I'd choose hang-gliding. I've scuba-dived before. But I'm far too chicken to skydive.
I have recurring dreams where I hang-glide and/or pilot an ultra-light aircraft. I'm a frustrated pilot of nearly all flying machines. One of these days, I plan to become a real one and take flying lessons. My husband is getting his instrumentation rating this year and one of his best friends owns an aviation company. My turn is coming next.
Ive always wanted to go skydiving it'd be like flying:angelsmiley:
skydiving, would scare me the least
ive seen hangliders whove crashed into the side of a cliff
ive para sailed before
my uncle flys for continental air line. he loves his job...and makes excellent money... i went scuba in the red sea when i was in egypt, i watched jaws the night before biggest mistake ever.. but it was still good...Quote:

Skydiving, at least until your chute opens, isn't anything like flying, Ghosty, as you'll find out when you talk to skydivers. It's like falling. Fast. After the chute opens, they say it's like controlled fall-floating. I once did a series of articles for my newspaper on skydivers and diving when I was a reporter. I did a low training jump. But I couldn't go all the way up high and do the real thing. Had heard too much in-depth detail about the sensations and risks. And I'd read two background pieces about two divers in different places whose chutes didn't open. That was plenty enough to dissuade Miss Safety First.
it still sounds like such a rush, i might do it as a present to myself one of these years, maybe when i turn 28, that'll be my golden b-day
They all said it was an amazing rush. Hope you have a blast!
My personal feeling, knowing myself, was that it would rush every fluid in every cavity of my body that possessed an external opening immediately out and either into the air or into my dive suit. That's how overwhelming surges of adrenaline affect some people.
i believe most skydiving places make you jump with an instructor your first time, my dad did it once when i was little with an instructor strapped to his back... i think with an instructor telling me when to pull the chute i wouldnt have to worry and would be able to enjoy the experience.
