Parasailing is one of the most loved sports in Turks and Caicos. The view from high above the ocean is breathtaking for tourists. As much as it will give you memories to cherish for long, you need to keep your safety intact while parasailing in Turks and Caicos.
Here are 5 tips that’ll make your parasailing expedition fully enjoyable and least bit glitchy.
- Avoid Parasailing on a Bad Weather Day
Although our boat captains will not fly if weather conditions are not safe. We don’t suggest going up there on a rainy or stormy day, this is the first thing you need to keep in mind. Never go parasailing if the weather forecast isn’t good. Make it a point to check the forecast and weather pattern before you book your parasailing trip. The ocean weather can really get bad in no time and often unwarranted. Moreover, you’ll not be able to enjoy if winds keep on swinging you, and you aren’t able to behold the ocean properly.
- Choose a Trustable Name for Parasailing in Turks and Caicos
Airtight safety can only be achieved when every little thing is taken care of to the last bit. You can only expect such priority for safety from a trustable name in parasailing like ours. Therefore, it’ll be great to check for the reputation of your parasailing provider. Check how long have they been operating in the Turks and Caicos, and see if the staff has safety training.
- Check Equipment Quality and Reliability
It’s important that you pull and test the harness, check the locks, and see if the helmet is of good quality. Don’t go with a provider who hasn’t invested in good quality equipment. It’s not surprising that most parasailing accidents take place because of poor quality equipment. You can easily test the equipment quality by asking the provider to show it to you before you take off.
- Talk to Your Paraflyer
If you’re feeling drowsy up in the air and can’t tell the same to your Paraflyer, you might come down all nauseous. Hence, it’s important to talk to your Paraflyer once before flying. Establish some signals and hand movements for communicating if you need help. Exchange a few words for easing the communication, and skip long talk. This will ensure that you enjoy the adventure, and come down safe.
- Take the safety drill seriously
Anyone who offers parasailing in Turks and Caicos will give you a pre-flight safety training drill. They’ll explain how the equipment works and guide you about the don’ts. A huge number of tourists make the mistake of not listening to the training with open ears. If you’re flying for the first time, it’s even more important to pay heed to the instructions as they prevent you from doing anything that may spoil all the fun.
