Absolutely amazing experience. I was going to do the 12,000ft jump but was recommended the 15,000ft one and it was incredible. My instructor Star Teaukura was also great. She was funny, gave me reall…Full review by aamicacarpenter

Had a brilliant time all round sky-diving with TTS! Great communication prior to confirm if the sky-dive will go ahead due to the weather (thankfully the weather cleared, so all was good). Really goo…Full review by mull105

I had such an amazing time, my instructor Star was absolutely incredible, she talked me through everything and made sure I was comfortable and that I understood everything. She made sure I felt safe …Full review by Passport62625214602
Hi all Well I am terrified of heights and definitely planes but I want to do the jump. Looking into the responses about "enjoying the free fall" what do you mean by that? As I'm thinking between the 15000f and the 12000ft. Hahah sorry I'm just imaging 60 seconds of not breathing and faiting Just wanted to know your experiences for this part. Thanks

Hi Jessica! I didn’t have any problems breathing and didn’t ever feel faint. The free fall doesn’t actually feel like falling, my husband actually explained it well to me when he said it feels kind of like flying through a wind tunnel… you get to enjoy such amazing views and to be honest it all happens and goes by really quickly. I did the 12k and immediately after wished I’d gone higher to enjoy the free fall for a little longer but if you’re more comfortable with 12, go with that! :-)
Hi there, Sure you can! With the 9,000ft you can get the ACE Selfiecam video or photos for $139 or the PRO Selfiecam video and photos for $179. Hope this has helped
Is the difference in the experience of the 15,000 and the 12,000ft jump worth the price differential? Additionally, what is the cheapest photo or video option is? Thanks!

Hi Jessica! Thanks for the question, you've already had a few responses but we thought we would chime in too. The difference between the two heights is obviously the time in freefall, it's about 35-40 seconds from 12,000 ft and 60 seconds from 15,000 ft. While that doesn't sound like a big difference on the ground, it definitely does change the jump! The extra time in the air gives you a lot longer to get used to the feeling and to actually start enjoying the freefall. Also you can see from coast to coast from 15,000 ft. Hopefully that helps! Our cheapest camera option is the Exit Photo for just $25 and then the Selfie Photos for just $99. Cheers, Holly @ TTS
