this might sound weird/pessimistic.... but make sure you have life insurance BEFORE you jump... but it's not what you think.
my wife and i both did tandem jumps while we were dating. once we got married and bought a place we decided we better get life insurance.... we wanted to make sure that if something happened to either of us the survivor could take a couple years off work AND have enough to pay off our mortgage.
one of the questions we were asked was if we had ever tried skydiving. we answered honestly and the extra paperwork we had to fill out was ridiculous. we were deemed 'high risk takers' so we have higher premiums - sorta silly for a one time thing for my wife and a two time thing for me.
so yea - all that to say - have life insurance before you jump!
as for other advise.... don't forget to pull the cord!!!
