You first skydive is tandem - you're strapped to an expert who knows what to do. He (or she) does all the work, and you just enjoy the ride. Exiting the plane is a bit nerve wracking, but your point about having no frame of reference is totally right. You just feel like you're hanging out in the sky for a while.
Then again, I'm not really afraid of heights
One of the best GAL things I ever did was to skydive. Did it a second time, and will do it again. LOVED IT!
Tandem is very safe (back up chute opens automatically if the main one does not).
I'm almost glad I did not know how safe it was the first time, b/c I was strangely enthralled by the idea of it being extremely dangerous.
Anyway, enjoy!
