From skydiving to helicopter rides, you're bound to get your blood pumping on your next trip to Playa del Carmen. Here are some interesting facts to get you excited about your next adventure.
Did you know that skydiving photographers control the camera with their mouths? You can imagine how difficult it would be to use a camera during a skydive in the same way that you use it on the ground–especially when it's your job to capture professional-caliber images. To make sure the shot gets got, "camera flyers" have invented ways of triggering the shutter with their mouths.
The idea of vertical flight has existed since 400BC, when Chinese toys made of bamboo mimicked modern-day helicopters' flight. In the 1480s Leonardo da Vinci designed a machine on paper that he believed would be capable of vertical flight. The first operational helicopter, called the Focke-Wulf Fw 61, was built in 1936. The first helicopter to be put into full production was a helicopter designed by Igor Sikorsky in 1942. Today helicopters are used for transportation, military, recreation, fighting fires, and medical emergency transportation.
Skydive Playa
If you’ve ever wanted to jump from a plane, Skydive Playa is your ticket to adrenaline. At Skydive Playa, you’ll attend a brief class of skydiving and be up in the air in no time. Then you’ll jump while being tethered to a certified jump instructor (licensed by the United States Parachute Association (USPA)) and experience free fall. What makes skydiving at Skydive Playa such a great choice is their usage of ram-air canopy parachutes, which actually glide through the air like an airplane wing and guarantee a soft, stand-up landing.
