They say “some of the best moments in life come from doing things that scare you the most,” in other words… #YOLO!
So, maybe it’s time to face your fears and pull the proverbial ripcord. Skydiving, or parachuting out of a plane, is the ultimate outdoor activity and extreme air sport. British Columbia’s flat lands are home to multiple drop zones for exhilarating free fall action. Sky diving companies provide all the necessary training because safety is always first.
Skydive Vancouver’s drop zone in Abbotsford is a Fraser Valley airpark that offers views to Vancouver, Mount Baker and the Island.
Vancouver Island has a number of skydiving companies that offer quality experiences.
Vancouver Skydive Centre in Pitt Meadows is surrounded by a mountainous backdrop.
Skydiving is also a major attraction in Whistler, Prince George, Kamloops and the Okanagan.
Instead of dinner and an action movie, maybe some real-life action with a tandem skydiving adventure is your next date idea.
Other methods of skydiving like wingsuit flying, once thought to be only for Navy Seals and spies has gained notoriety over the years from movies like 2003’s Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life and 2015’s Point Break remake.
