Since I was traveling on a budget, I chose 9,000 ft and a free fall documentation. I could really vouch for 9,000 ft for a first time sky diver because it wouldn't be too much of an experience for you. Plus, it wouldn't hurt too much on the crotch. Yes, the harness was quite a tight pull. In total, my whole experience costed me 558 NZD.
After a short briefing, we were transported to the jump station where we were given a jumpsuit and were introduced to our tandem master. I was too nervous to remember the name of these people who were my tandem master and my camera person, but they were awesome. I can totally vouch for NZone's services!

| Crammed up inside a small plane. |
 |
| Final briefing before the jump! |
 |
| The door was opened for the first time! |
 |
| It was more of a throw rather than a jump. |
 |
| Off we go! I was told to hold my harness until the tandem master taps me on the shoulder. |
 |
| Look at the view! |
 |
| The first chute was open and the free fall begins. |
 |
| He tapped me and I could finally let go of my hands. I was told that it would be so cold up there, but I just had to get the messages on my hand out. |
 |
| Doing it NZ style! |
 |
| Second chute was opened, time to say goodbye to my camera person. |
 |
| She continues her free fall to capture my landing from the ground. |
 |
| This view was probably taken from 6,000 ft. I wasn't really sure. |
 |
| Her chute starts to open. What a view, right?! |
 |
| That's me closing in to the ground. |
 |
| I had to be nice to him, my life was dependant on him. |
 |
| A few friends whom I was able to persuade into doing the dive. |
If you have the money and the chance, please do it. Fear is just a lie that whispers nonsense into your ear. If you don't trust me, listen to my friends who were scared but ended up smiling from ear to ear after the landing. In the sky, there was nothing but excitement, joy and zero fear. Take the first step towards courage and fear will disappear!
