I am deadly afraid of heights, but have always wanted to try skydiving. My husband told me he was going to go, and I wanted to go. I went, and I am so glad I did. The instructors were very helpful. They did not treat you like an idiot or look at you funny for asking questions. When I got ready to go, I felt very comfortable to do it on my own(did the static line program) with very little nervousness thanks to the instructors.
