Wondering how to get your skydiving license? You're not alone! Many people share the same ambition, of being able to skydive by themselves, whenever they want to. But that's not going to happen overnight. 

There's a lot of time, energy, practice, and education that go into being able to safely skydive on your own. Among the most important things to consider with skydiving, though, is that it requires you to have a license. Here's what you need to do to get your skydiving license.

After a few tandem skydiving falls, you might be thinking about jumping on your own. In order to solo skydive, you’ll need to get a formal license, specifically the “A” license from the United States Parachute Association (USPA).

You’ve got a few tandem freefalls under your belt, and needless to say — you’re hooked! 

What are the strongest winds you will jump in? Most skydivers claim they know their limits. But, do we stay within them? How strong is your conviction when the door light comes on and your friends are ready to go?

When it comes to skydiving, the most powerful factor in our ability to have fun is the one thing we cannot control - the weather. 

You might hear the phrase "you can't jump if you're not at the dropzone" and that's completely true. But there are some things we know about weather that can help us define when we have the best chance of flying. Our goal here is to help you understand the weather that affects skydivers the most - and how you can set yourself up for success when scheduling your jump times.
