I've been doing an aff class to learn to sky dive and living closer to the tunnel in Orlando then a drop zone I decided that it may be cheaper to get some tunnel time and practice time on free fall that way since I'm much better under cannopy than I am in free fall and it was kind of cool, the instructor wanted me to keep my head farther up then I was and every time I droped my head I would lose altitude in the tunnel and have to regain the altiude, good experience though

I've been a type 1 diabetic for 7 years and just started jumping aff last month and doing wind tunnels, they just asked me at the DZ if I had any history of passing out or unussuall effects from my diabetes and I've never had any issues once I was diagnosed with the diabetes and on the insulin so the drop zone expects me to make the call on my own body if I'm ok or not to go, often I will stop to eat though on my way in just to boost my blood sugar to about the 130-140 range just in case

I started sky diving with a tandem about 2 months ago and loved it so much that I had to go back and do aff, I chose this drop zone due to location I work in orlando at the theme parks and it was the closest to my home, the drop zone is mainly just sky divers with mainly otters operating currently, Betty is great at manifest! I"ve been doing aff with Tommy and Liz who are amazing and liz is great with her camera work, and I did my tandem with boothy, I hope I spelled his name right but hes from aulstria and all of them are great! some times they are slow and getting a fun jump in is tough but there are plenty of blue skies there!

I made my first jump ever last week and loved it! I loved it so much that I called yesturday to sign up for AFF this week, its an addiction once you do it, as one of the jumpers said when I made my last jump, Its the most fun you can have with your clothes on
