Covid-Aware<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&#8217;ve made the decision to step out of home and expose yourself to more risk \u2013 that&#8217;s fine and what we do as skydivers. Jumping out of aeroplanes is exposing yourself to an abnormal risk. But just like skydiving, you can choose to keep it as safe as possible. Wearing masks, using hand sanitiser and avoiding close contact are like a protective condom, worth the small extra hassle for a pretty cool benefit \ud83d\ude09  Find a comfy face mask for every day and ideally a medical quality one for travelling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Travel Smart<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Travelling by airline is a contact risk but you can minimise it by maintaining social distancing, at least from the person in front in the line (and glare at the people behind you, whilst ostentatiously sanitising your hands with your personal bottle of hand sanitiser). Allow even more time than normal. Don&#8217;t eat or drink on the plane if you can avoid it. Check out relevant country\/state Covid rules before you go, you may need to take a Covid test, fill out extra documentation, quarantine when you get home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure you take all your documents, are insured, and your kit is in date. Consider rental gear &#8211; you can often rent weights at the dropzone, saves carrying them. If you don&#8217;t have your own kit, rental is a good option to maximise your jumps by not having to wait for club kit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/boogie-tip-ff-over-algarve-SMI-1024x538.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/boogie-tip-ff-over-algarve-SMI-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/boogie-tip-ff-over-algarve-SMI-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/boogie-tip-ff-over-algarve-SMI-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/boogie-tip-ff-over-algarve-SMI-1536x806.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/boogie-tip-ff-over-algarve-SMI-2048x1075.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Stay small at the beginning and take time to enjoy the scenery<br>Image from Algarve Boogie<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Take your time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most of us have hardly jumped this year. You don\u2019t need to rush on the first load. Get a DZ brief, check your gear. Consider a solo or small familiarization jump, especially if it\u2019s been a few months since you jumped, if you haven\u2019t been over this DZ before, or if the landing area looks a bit tricky. Be aware that, just as you&#8217;re getting current, new people may arrive who are not (red flag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Gear Checks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everything may be different to your home DZ but don\u2019t let that stop your gear checks \u2013 before the jump and a pin check on run-in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Landing Direction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most important things is to understand who or what dictates the landing direction. Windsock? Arrow? First one down? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. If in Doubt, ASK!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If there is anything you are not sure of, from where to load the plane to exit order to beer lines, ASK! Most often if you have a question mark in your head then others do too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Make Friends<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You will be surrounded by people from many countries, DZs and walks of life. Go out of your way to talk to them, you\u2019ll be enriched by their company, they are all potential new friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/\/faad52bc-c31a-4005-8a61-57ee82d67685.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption>Fun times during Vector Festival<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Do something different<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019t just do what you do at home. Try something new \u2013 a tracking dive, balloon jump, follow out a tandem, do a hop &#8216;n&#8217; pop, hybrid dive, a beach jump. It\u2019s a BOOGIE! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Protect from the elements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most likely it will still be comparatively chilly, especially in the mornings. Take warm Buffs, thermals, gloves and layer up. Don&#8217;t forget to sunscreen your face, as weird as it may seem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Make your own decisions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s easy to get \u2018boogie fever\u2019 and go along with the crowd \u2013 but remember it\u2019s your life. Don\u2019t be shy to stand down because the winds are above your personal limits, or you don\u2019t like how the clouds are building, or you feel you&#8217;re way out of your depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. Beware the booze!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you go large on a party night consider taking the next day off \u2013 or at least turn up in the afternoon, don\u2019t try to skydive when you\u2019re broken. Be aware alcohol can lower our normal protocol, you may want to hug all your friends and undo all your Coronavirus-safety precautions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12. Have fun!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stay safe, and have a huge amount of fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div
