Bottom line, there simply aren’t too many things you can do that are more spectacular than your first skydive. For most people the entire experience, from the time you’ve made the decision to make that first tandem skydive to the booking process and then the waiting… awesome! It’s a sense of excitement that you can’t really put your finger on because up until that point all you’ve ever seen of skydiving has been on video. Video you say? Oh yeah… There’s just no way around it. This is one experience worth the video!

We’re pretty sure that if you’ve come as far as checking out our website and reading our blog then you’ve got a pretty solid interest in making a skydive. You’ve probably even done a bit of research into the safety aspects of the sport and have seen the statistics that tell you just how much more dangerous it is to get into your car each day than it is to make a tandem skydive. But… you’ve probably also thought about what might happen if things don’t go as planned on a jump and may have even come across the term “cutaway”. You’re not really sure what it means, but you’re also relatively confident you don’t like it. The term inspires images of World War II movies with a paratrooper doing battle with his malfunctioning parachute as he plummets to the ground, but the reality of a malfunction in modern skydiving is much less dramatic to say the least.

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!”

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?
