Have you ever wondered what it would be like to fly? If the answer is yes then why not head to Wales and try the nearest thing to it?

Skydiving is portrayed as a hobby for adrenaline junkies out there, but anyone over the age of 16 who can prove they are in good health has the opportunity to try it in Swansea. Many people travel thousands of miles around the world to give it a go, but the beautiful scenery of Wales provides the perfect setting for a jump out of a plane.

You're not alone

Once you have handed over you skydiving voucher for what is sure to be one of the most exhilarating experiences of your life, you can be safe in the knowledge that you are in the hands of professionals.

Trained staff offer all the guidance you require before you take the leap and are then with you every step of the way as you float back down to earth.

If you are a skydiving beginner you will jump from a plane while attached to a professional, meaning that all you need to do is take in the views, breathe in the fresh air and get to grips with the 120 mph speeds you will be travelling at prior to your parachute opening up.

You will be told the best way to position yourself and you will be informed on the ideal way to land, so it is up to you to absorb everything you can before your feet are back on solid ground.

Certificate of achievement

In case you think that your friends back home will not believe you have actually taken part in such an experience day, you will be rewarded with a certificate once your head is out of the clouds and you are down at base camp.

Alternatively, you can always invite them to come and watch so they can give you moral support before you take the plunge.

However you choose to prepare for the event or whoever you decide can come and watch, one thing is for certain with skydiving - you are in for an experience you will never forget.
