What to expect?

[gonecountry 0]

Hi all. I've been lurkin' here for a while, and I think I'm going to go do my first jump tomorrow. I live in San Antonio and the closest DZ is Skydive San Marcos. Any feedback on them? I used to be a SCUBA junky, making 200-300 dives a year, but the ocean in San Antonio isn't that great.. So it's time to hang up the fins and try something new. Wish me good luck.

Good luck on your first jump and be prepared to get addicted.

Thanks so far. I plan on doing a tandem. I think that's the way to go until I find out if I really want to pursue this as a hobby.

It's going to get you. It won't be a hobby, it will be a way of life!
Have a great time!

What to expect? Addiction... poverty... itchy feet waiting for the weekend... a crick in your neck as you constantly watch the weather...

Its ALL good!!

Thanks for all the feedback guys. I think today is going to be rained out. The worse part, I'm leaving town for three months on monday, and I don't think there are any good DZs in Haiti. Catch you guys later.

Sorry about getting rained out. Becareful in Haiti. I spent 6 months down there during the last big mess, 94-95. I was in Limbe the first time and Belladere the second trip. It will be an experience that you can't imagen.
