Does it set your adrenaline pumping and heart racing when you see adventure junkies dive from 10,000 feet above in the sky with nothing but only a parachute strapped on? If yes, then your adventure-loving heart is yearning for an experience in skydiving in India.

When you finally decide to strap-on and dive, this information will come in handy.

Here are some types of sky dives –

1) Tandem Jump

Here you are connected to an instructor via a harness. Both of you jump together using the same parachute and the instructor pulls the cord. This is the simplest form of skydiving in India, and needs minimal instructions. The best part is that the entire experience will be recorded so that you can re-live the thrill even after it is all over, for the rest of your life.

2) Static Line Jump

The jump is made from only 3,000 feet and requires upto six hours of training. In this skydive you are connected with a cord to the aircraft, and the parachute opens automatically after around 3 seconds of free fall with no action required by the diver.

3) Accelerated Free Fall

This one is the real deal, where you jump without any attachments and free fall. It is one of the most challenging experiences of sky diving in India. It requires both classroom instructions and practical training, considering the serious nature of this dive and is done from at least 13,000 feet.
