  1. I'm currently doing AFF(level 6 coming up) and have already had one repeat(level 4) and then did one "relax dive" after my level 5. I did everything I needed to do and was passed, but didn't quite feel ready for a solo dive. I'd much rather spend the extra money and take my time. My non-instructors friends at the dz encourage me to move on when given the option(no one has ever said you MUST repeat, they always ask what I feel would be best), but I feel way more confident having repeated a couple dives. ~Dottie “Everything looks perfect from far away.” Postal Service, Such Great Heights
  2. I'm so excited, tomorrow I get to go back and try level 4 again, and hopefully one or two others. I am training at Freefall Adventures in Sebastian, FL, but I won't be able to finish my training here because I am heading back up north in a week I am hoping to do as much as possible at Cross Keys, staying with the Freefall Adventures people, but I just found out CPI is like 40 minutes from where I live in CT. Anyone have experiences with either dz??? ~Dottie “Everything looks perfect from far away.” Postal Service, Such Great Heights
  3. Awesome that you're jumping at Cross Keys...I am on level four now in Sebastian at their "sister" dz, I guess....a lot of the guys who work at Sebastian will go up to Cross Keys for season up there. In fact, Yonaton, who I was straped to for my first tandem, is up there already! I will definitely be jumping there during the spring/summer/fall. I can't wait!! ~Dottie “Everything looks perfect from far away.” Postal Service, Such Great Heights
  4. Hey everyone :) I finally went sky diving for the first time 3 weeks ago, and was immediately addicted. I've jumped 9 times in those 3 weeks..a few tandems(2 fun, 3 training) and am working on my AFF level four now(I am redoing it the next time I get to go because my turning is um...less than perfect during freefall). But I just found this community and am really looking forward to having people to share my obsession with! My poor mother is so sick of hearing me talk about it! Haha! ~Dottie “Everything looks perfect from far away.” Postal Service, Such Great Heights
