CARENE SILVA

Carene, 46, came from Albufeira to skydive with us in May!

1. What made you want to skydive?

To challenge myself, to see how I would react and what it would feel like to be skydiving—the adrenaline!

2. Do you usually take part in extreme sports?

Yes, as long as I feel safe.

3. What did you think of your 20-minute training session? Did it prepare you properly for the jump?

It was really interesting, and the information was communicated in a very clear and simple way. I tried to absorb as much as possible.

4. Describe how it felt when the door opened at 4,600m for your skydive. Were you nervous?

Oh, it was a moment of “Here we go!” 🙂 But I felt determined and safe. The instructor I jumped with was fantastic—he made me feel completely secure and even boosted my confidence.

5. If you had to describe the feeling of free-falling at 220 km/h to someone who has never done it, what would you say?

I’d say they should definitely try it! At first, there’s fear—even a bit of panic—but it’s an incredible experience that everyone should do. It proves to yourself that you can overcome more than you ever imagined. It’s a feeling of self-conquest, plus the view is breathtaking, and the sensations are unforgettable.

6. Was this your only skydive, or do you see yourself jumping again?

Yes, I would jump again! Doing it with family or a group of friends would be amazing—everyone sharing what fascinated them most and what they felt during their jump. It’s fantastic, and I would definitely do it again!
