Why Skydiving Is a Great Year-Round Hobby

First of all, skydiving is super fun. And, like other year-round hobbies like running or cycling, it can be adapted into your life, providing both physical excitement and emotional freedom. Here are some common questions about making skydiving your next hobby:

Skydiving is an Investment

Skydiving gear can be an expensive upfront investment. In a place like Monroe, Georgia, you get a lot more out of that investment with the ability to use that gear all year long. Once you earn your A-License and get your own gear (as opposed to renting it), weekend lift tickets are only $32 per jump at Skydive Monroe.

Skydiving Community

Absolutely! Skydiving boasts a welcoming, international community of people from all walks of life, bonded together by their love for the sky. Beyond jumping, there are often bonfire nights, hours spent waiting out weather holds with silly activities, and special “boogies” that bring large segments of the community together. If you start jumping consistently, you’ll find yourself making new friends, fast.

Many Skydiving Disciplines

Skydiving is an extreme sport with numerous competitive disciplines like formation skydiving and canopy piloting. You need special skills and physical training to progress through the sport, with specific goals and rules created by the United States Parachute Association (USPA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
