Tandem Skydiving

Tandem jumping has been around since the early 80’s. It is about the EASIEST way to do that “First Jump”. With the training, preparation, aircraft ride, jump, and video dubbing, you should plan on being here for about 1/2 a day. Usually, we will have you on your way home in 2-3 hours.

PRE-JUMP TRAINING

Your 15 minutes of pre-jump training includes information about the gear you will use, aircraft and exit procedures, freefall body position and altitude awareness, canopy control and landing techniques.

JUMP OUT

Wearing a harness connected directly to the Tandem parachute system and your instructor, you will jump together and accelerate to 120MPH (200Kph), freefalling for about 60 seconds. At about 5000′, we will open the parachute, and then you will assist the instructor in steering the parachute during the 4-6 minute descent. During that time you will get to steer the parachute, and practice landings and then land on the dropzone with your video person waiting to film it all.

RE-LIVE THE EXPERIENCE

A freefall Videographer can capture your experience, filming the skydive and landing, as well as the ‘candid’ interviews, special effects and music – producing an 3 to 4-minute professional production. In addition to several high resolution digital photos of your skydive.

Learn To Skydive

The Accelerated Free Fall course is comprised of 7 levels. Each level builds upon the lessons learned in the previous one.

GROUND COURSE

Your 5 hour ground course includes instruction about the gear you will use, aircraft and exit procedures, freefall body position and altitude awareness, canopy control and landing techniques, as well as emergency proceedure training.

LEVELS 1, 2 & 3

Two jumpmasters exit the aircraft holding on to you and assist during the freefall portion of the jump. Once your parachute is open, you make a solo canopy descent while being guided from the ground by a qualified instructor using a radio.

LEVELS 4 & 5

You will learn how to do turns as well as forward and backwards movement.

LEVELS 6 & 7

You will progress to more advance maneuvers such as solo exits and front and back loops.
