What to expect
You are strapped to an instructor and jump from about 13,000 ft. The freefall lasts about 60 seconds, then the parachute opens and you float over the Palm, the skyline and the Gulf. Protective goggles fit over prescription glasses.
Allow time before the jump for weighing, a briefing and the waiver, which must be completed beforehand.
