It’s that time of year again, and we just couldn’t be more excited! For those of us skydivers that have spent the winter months with our gear lovingly packed away in gear bags waiting patiently for the dawning of our favorite time, the wait has finally come to an end. And for all of you looking to make your summer memorable with your very first skydive, now is the time! 

Afraid of heights? Skydiving is still for you! 

“Skydiving? SKYDIVING?? I am WAY too scared of heights to go skydiving! I can’t even stand on a balcony without freaking out!”

You have a lot of options when you want to go parachuting in Chicago. 

These days almost everyone has been exposed to skydiving through television, movies, and of course social media. You’ve probably even heard the term “Tandem Skydive” before, but you may not be sure what it entails or how it works, and most importantly if it’s something for you. Do I need to prepare for a jump? How safe is a Tandem Skydive? Is it really that cool?

The reasons are as varied as the people. Some choose to jump for the thrill of it. Some choose to jump for the freedom that it allows. Some partake as part of a community and have goals larger than themselves. For many,  jumping is a form of personal therapy and growth or it’s a new way to challenge themselves mentally and physically. There are simply too many incredible reasons to skydive!
