A very special experience, one that I will never forget! I personally found the atmosphere a bit too young/hip/backpackers, but that is just a detail, because it was an unforgettable day!

The skydive in Taupo was the first one I ever did and it was amazing! I did the 15,000ft jump without any video package. The jump was one of the best experiences of my life, especially the moment you jump out of the plane.
