Skydive One Of The Most Spectacular Backdrops In The World

browse (1 / 3)

From high up in the air a magical panoramic vista of the desert plains stretches out below. Enormous sand dunes spread out in patterns along the coast and the oldest desert on earth is as vast as the eye can see. 10 000 feet lends enchantment to the view. Skydive one of the most spectacular backdrops in the world in Namibia. The airplane ride to 10 000 is worth the trip alone, with stunning, breath-taking aerial views of one of the most beautiful countries in the world.

For inexperienced divers, the jump at 10 000 feet may be made by tandem jump, where the jumper is strapped to an experienced instructor who pulls the parachute. Alternatively, you might choose to learn to skydive by static line, where a line is attached to the airplane that pulls the chord of the parachute at the right moment. Tandem jumping will require 15 minutes of training, while the static jump requires 6 hours of training, which is also useful for those wishing to learn to jump by themselves in future.

Free-falling for an exhilarating 30 seconds at 220 kilometres per hour before popping open the parachute is a heart-stopping experience. Once the shute is opened, the canopy ride down to the bottom offers some of the most beautiful views of the desert and the coast beyond, with views stretching out unfathomably into the blue hazy distance. Skydive one of the most spectacular backdrops in the world for an exhilarating and yet serene experience. The premier drop zone is at Swakopmund.
