VIDEO: The Best Skydiving Experience Is in Dubai

Skydiving is a really interesting thing that a lot of people dream about trying, but most people never find the money, time and courage to do it.

There are some, though, that won’t give up until they try and once they do they will be hooked forever.

There are many places where you can try skydiving but most people agree that Dubai is the best place to do it.

According to livingindubai.org, for the adrenaline junkie there is no feeling comparable to that of jumping out of a plane 10,000 feet up in the sky, wind gushing through your hair and the earth below rushing up to meet you.

There are few extreme sports that can hold a candle to skydiving.

Although divers are required to sign a lengthy, liability waiver that unequivocally states that skydiving is an extremely risky sport, there are many adventurers who feel that the feeling of freedom and exhilaration when you’re falling through the sky at speeds upwards of 220 kmph are well worth the risk.

Fortunately there are a few places in and around Dubai where you can enjoy skydiving and the one thing you can be sure of is that the views on a clear Dubai day are breathtaking!

The actual diving experience is fairly simple; most centers will make you watch a short video on the sky diving process and experience, you will be given simple instructions on how to work with your tandem dive instructor and the rest is pure adventure.
