Default Skydiving Forums??

Hi,

I am interested in trying to get qualified as a skydiver but at the moment know very little about the different ways to get started. I have already done a tandem jump and would like to progress on from this.

Does anybody have any personal experiences or alternatively any direction to a forum that would be able to help?

thanx

Al

Oh and i'm in the midlands so any suggestions to a good airfield would be appreciated.

Tip for women skydivers. Remember to wear a tampon so you don't whistle on the way down

Personally, I'd go to the US and spend a couple of weeks getting qualified. Guess it depends on what qualifications you want to go for.

Accelerated Freefall is a riot

Thanks for replies,

Don't mind it taking 5-6 months to qualify especially if it works out cheaper than going the accelerated freefall route Although its not the sort of thing you want to be cutting costs on.

Anyone out there a qualified skydiver then.
