I went skydiving during high school as a prom activity. First time you go you gotta go tandem so you'll be attached to an instructor. I think i paid 250 ish, if you want a video or pictures they'll probably charge you another 100+. I thought it was pretty fun, gives you a decent adrenaline rush.

Did a few jumps in the military. If I were to start out and do some jumps in the civilian world. I, personally, would do one of the Accelerated Free Fall programs. Here's an example program: http://www.jumpraeford.com/coaching.htm#2. The cost for one jump is more (1st jump is $381, subsequent jumps less than $200), but you are pulling your own cord and NOT jumping tandem. The pictures of you will turn out a lot better too, since you're not strapped to someone else. There's probably programs in your area. I thought the jumping was pretty exciting, though the one night jump I did was a little bit tense.

went skydiving couple of years ago in cali..
Couple moments you will get scared: 1. Before getting in the plane 2. On the plane 3. Right before you jump 4. Before you pull the parachute 5. Landing. Feelings: lots of wind in your face but no roller coaster feeling... it's cold but still hella fun... after the parachute opens it gets awkward because you're all alone with the instructor on your back... Cost: 300 (skydive + video/pictures) Ps: when your off the plane... you forget your scared...
