About Skydiving, India

Skydiving’s a fairly expensive sport to indulge in, but the Air Force Adventure Foundation organises training and flights where civilians can participate. A selected number of adventure sports specialists in large metros like Delhi and Mumbai can also help if you’re interested in skydiving.

Skydiving as a sport is yet to catch on completely to become amongst India’s top aero sports. A handful of organisations, however, do organise training camps where enthusiasts are taught the art of leaping out of a plane in midair, doing a `freefall’ and then opening the parachute to land softly. An innovative variation of skydiving is `skysurfing’, which involves performing manoeuvres like loops and twists - done almost exclusively by professionals as a spectator sport.
