So, arrive early at the facility to complete the forms and the training session to skydive.

Make sure that you eat a good breakfast and pack a few light snacks to munch on at the facility. Wear loose-fitted clothes such as pants or shorts, a long-sleeved t-shirt, and sneakers. Pack some warm layers if the weather is a little chilly. Also, ensure that you rest properly before the skydive and have at least 7-8 hours of sleep the night before to enjoy the sport better.
