Tandem skydiving allows you to experience freefall on your first skydive! Arrive 30 minutes prior to your class for orientation. Training begins at the scheduled class time. For 20-30 minutes, your instructor will explain the equipment and its safety features, you will physically walk-thru how to exit from the airplane, learn the stable freefall body position and how to fly the parachute back to earth.

After ground training, you Wll gear up and make your first skydive harnessed together with your instructor experiencing the exhilaration of freefall, the freedom of parachute descent, and a tip-toe landing with pin-point accuracy.

Nothing compares with the exhilaration and pure adrenaline of skydiving!

First you'll be fitted with a jumpsuit and harness. Your instructor will adjust the harness to fit you in the most comfortable manner possible. Then he or she will briefly discuss the basics of freefall body position, and what you can do to help yourself have the best time possible. Then you'll board your waiting aircraft for a scenic ride to between 10,000 and 14,000 feet. The ride to altitude is a good time to ask your instructor any questions you may still have about the sport of skydiving. Just prior to arrival at altitude your instructor will verify that everything is ready for the jump and will ask you if you are "ready to make a skydive?"

The next minute will be the most exciting of your life! The thrill of freefalling above the earth at up to 120 miles an hour is a sensation that cannot be put into words. After the parachute opens you'll be amazed at the peace and serenity of canopy flight as you receive hands on instruction on parachute flight, shortly before you're brought back to a soft safe landing back on mother earth. You'll be thrilled, you'll be amazed, and you'll wonder what took you so long! Make your reservation today!
