If you are an adrenaline junkie like me, you absolutely have to try skydiving!! It is by far one of the coolest things you can do. There is a great place in Hazleton, PA, around an hour away from Bucknell where you can skydive above the Poconos. For those of you who have never done it or who know very little about it, it is completely safe! Unless you are certified or in the process of getting certified, you cannot go alone. For your first dive, you go tandem meaning that there is a professional strapped to your back who does all of the hard work for you. He or she makes sure you are safe and is the one who will pull the chute when it is time.
Depending the place you go skydiving, the height you jump from differs (varying from around 10,00 to 14,000 ft. above the ground). At this particular skydiving place, you jump from 10,000 ft. above the ground (2 miles up). You fall at approximately 125 miles per hour. The actual fall lasts about 60 seconds and then you parachute down to safety. This particular skydiving place charges $214 for your first tandem jump however if you have a student I.D., you get $10 off.
