francenec said... Skydiving with Skydive Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers My Wife (64yo) and I (66yo) both did a dive from 16,500ft. Included a free fall of about 60 seconds. The free fall is very exhilarating and noisy! Its seems to last longer. And the open chute section was maybe 10 minutes. Bailey was my tandem diver and he was tremendous. He explained everything leading up to getting on the plane, what happened while flying to maximum elevation, preparing to jump, and the jump procedure. The view whilst floating down with the parachute was spectacular. Bailey pointed out a number of mountains and sites in the ground. He did a couple of tight turns with the parachute followed by a rising movement which appeared to be stalling the parachute which was rather unusual. Then he handed me the control cables and had me do the same. Wow thrilling. At the end we did a sliding landing on the grass night next to the target. All up a great experience run by an experienced and professional organisation Strongly recommend Skydiving with Skydive Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers I’d do it again PC
