This was my first sky dive at Blue Skies Adventures, Bremerton, WA, USA. As per US law, since I was a first time jumper, I had to go in tandem with the instructor who apparently had jumped 6000 times. I was taken to an elevation of 12500 feet, before we jumped. The free fall, which just lasted 50 seconds, was an unbelievable experience. It was followed by 3 and a half minutes of parachuting.
