In a guide to women with kick ass powers, TheWrap described Captain Marvel as having “superhuman strength, stamina, durability, and agility, and can fly faster than the speed of sound. She can also heal from injuries quickly, has immunity to toxins and poisons, and can shoot light beams from her hands.”. That’s Isobel Rohwer, newest A license member at Skydive Mossel Bay. Her journey from her first static line jump on 8 Aug 2021 to getting her A license, 73 jumps later, on 11 June 2022, was a difficult one filled with failure, disappointment and despondency, not to mention two malfunctions (which she handled expertly by the way). But our Isobel not only healed from a few minor scrapes, she also healed from big emotional hurdles. To our delight, she comes most weekends to shoot her light beams of generosity, care and friendship on our drop zone. Today Isobel is working towards her CAT III Formation Skydiving test for her B license and soon she’ll be the one everyone else on the DZ will want to jump with. We asked her a few questions about how she overcame and conquered to become the awesome skydiver she is today.

Based on a few different factors, skydiving has several altitudes that could be considered ‘standard’ – most of the time this is between ten thousand and fourteen thousand feet. While you could maths these into an average skydiving height, it is more informative to investigate some of the things that go into deciding how far up you go when you skydive.
