i wouldnt bring it up as a hobby but i might say "i got into that a bit a while ago" if someone were talking about it and i were you. I started skydiving and was going pretty regularly for a while then right before i got my license I took a 2month break because college classes were getting harder for me to keep up with. at that time i still called myself a skydiver because i had every intention of continuing as soon as i had time again. Now I am in the next semester and managing my time better. i got my A license a few weeks ago and am working on my B license and I say skydiving is a hobby for me. Point being, the fact that you dont intend to get back into it asap would make me think you arent a skydiver. Plus the number of jumps is still really low. Not that I have a ton but I thought i would put in my 2cents.

i had to redo level 8 ... this jump my lock on altitude was lowered to 5000ft (previously was 6000ft) and my pull time was lowered to 4500ft (previously 5500ft) ...during the jump i apparently wasnt checking my altimeter enough and around 4000ft my instructor had to give me a pull signal ...i probably wouldnt have noticed til 3800ft or something so i had to relevel ...i thought it was appropriate to relevel, id rather be at the learning position i am supposed to be at and altitude awareness is really important obviously. I redid the jump and all went well and havent had to redo anything since...theres nothing wrong with my freefalls i mean i stabalize easily and do maneuvers correctly, it was just that i didnt follow the planned pull time and thats a major reason to relevel at my dropzone I talked to other students there and theyve had to relevel too, i forget for wat reason but theyre all amounting to good skydivers so releveling really isnt a big deal it just to keep u at the pace u should be, it doesnt mean ur incapable watsoever
