When you learn to sky dive, you get the chance to experience the world in a whole new way.
Skydiving for first-timers 
While the learning process can take anything from a couple of weeks to months or even years, depending on the kind of expertise you wish to develop, skydiving schools also offer one-time skydiving sessions for amateurs. These sessions are a great way to experience the magic of skydiving. Most people develop their first taste for the sport after a skydiving session during a vacation.
Most single-session skydiving sessions consist of tandem parachute jumping, where the client is paired with an experienced instructor. The amateur and the instructor are generally connected, either with a harness or a cord, so that the latter is able to control all the factors necessary to make a safe descent. This makes it possible for almost anyone to skydive without having to first learn to sky dive. Nevertheless, there are some basic criteria.
Criteria for skydiving students
Normally, most skydiving centers require clients to be at least 18 years old. They also prefer those who have at least a basic level of physical fitness. This includes the absence of any kind of heart condition, respiratory illnesses, or weaknesses. Obesity can also cause a problem when skydiving. The person should also be able to handle the weight of the safety equipment, which can be anywhere between thirty to fifty pounds.
Finally, choose a school with a good reputation and well-qualified and experienced instructors to have a safe and fun time as you learn to sky dive.
