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!

Well, it’s that time of year again! The time of year when thoughts start to naturally turn once again to SKYDIVING! Wait, what? Skydiving you say? It’s cold outside, the skies are grey and I’m thinking about either sitting by the fire or hitting the slopes, not flying miles high…

When it comes to skydiving, there are many links in the chain required to ensure a safe, fast, and efficient operation. From your first meeting with Manifest to the person that packs your parachute, to your instructor, and yes, of course, your pilot.
