Skydiving Spots in the World: Imagine yourself waiting for the plane to carry you some 13000 feet above sea level, to give you the best time of your life. That moment when you are standing at the entrance of the plane waiting for your turn to take a leap into the air and fall freely. It’s only skydiving that can give you such a thrill and moment of life. No other sport or adventure can be as good as skydiving. Hence, today I thought to write down some of the best places in the world where you can enjoy this amazing adventure.

1. Skydive Dubai

Skydive Dubai, is located near the famous Palm Jumeriah of Dubai. The cost of one tandem jump is a 1999 AED. They take you exactly 13000 feet above sea level and I tell you the view from the air is sexy as hell. If one wishes to go for skydive Dubai then I would suggest them to book for the first slot early in the morning which is 6 Am. Why I am asking you to go for the 6 Am slot? Because by the time they get you ready and your jump completes it’s already 7 Am. After which, the atmosphere is pretty hot! you know how Dubai is! And by the time you wait for your video and pictures, it’s already 10 Am. Thus, if you finish your jump soon then you will have the rest of the day for other activities.
