MAKING YOUR FIRST TANDEM SKYDIVE!

Your first jump is low pressure and a lot of fun with your certified instructor attached to you every step of the way.

The old stories you may have heard about military-style training and equipment are a thing of the past. You will not be jumping alone on your first skydive - your certified instructor is with you every step of the way. Tandem skydiving is the safest training method for first-time jumpers and has made the sport accessible to millions of people worldwide. Whether your goal is to become a United States Parachute Association (USPA) certified skydiver or you just want to give it a try - this is where you begin.

Before you climb aboard the plane, you will watch an orientation video, have a Google-Customer-Reviewsbriefing with your instructor and get geared up with a jumpsuit, harness, altimeter, and goggles. We have everything you need at our facility. After that, all you have to do is enjoy a plane ride, experience the thrill of freefall and see your world in a beautiful new way underneath a parachute.
