Texans are going to have a pretty great view of the upcoming “Ring of Fire” solar eclipse on Saturday, but there’s one surefire way to experience the eclipse like nobody else: skydiving!
Skydive South Texas, a skydiving group in Port Aransas, wants folks to experience the eclipse like never before! Chief pilot Garrett Braddy says he wanted people to experience the eclipse “in a new and innovative way.”
Braddy told KIII TV in Corpus Christi, “We just wanted to combine the two. We didn't want to be stuck down here watching the eclipse like everybody else.”
Though accelerated freefalling instructor Kari Greathouse has been a part of multiple dives, she says that diving during the eclipse is something she can personally check off her own bucket list. "This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I want to be able to offer it right. I mean, I've never skydived during an eclipse, so this is going to be super exciting for me," she said.
As of this writing, spots are still available to skydive during the eclipse, but they are limited to if you want to experience this once-in-a-lifetime dive, you better act fast!
