The tandem skydiving training class is usually only about 30 minutes in length. You will watch an instructional video (linked in our electronic waiver) and simulate the proper body position for free fall and practice exiting the aircraft with your instructor.
Following training, you’ll morph into a skydiver as you step into your skydiving jumpsuit and be issued goggles and your all important harness for your jump. The tandem instructor wears a specially designed parachute system built for two. You will be harnessed to the front of him/her (becoming their new best friend) before exiting the aircraft for what will be the most adventurous thing you can do on the planet!
THE SKYDIVE EXPERIENCE
The adventure begins when we zip you up to 14,000 feet in an amazingly fast nine minutes, thanks to our incredible jump plane – a twin-turbine King Air. If you’re seeking the ultimate skydiving experience, there is none better than this!
Once at jump altitude, your heart races as you approach the door of the aircraft lockstep with your instructor to begin the most incredible experience of your life! Prepare to exit this perfectly good airplane and hit speeds of between 120 and 150 mph. What you don’t expect is how much you’ll love it! You won’t feel the sensation of falling, but rather floating. Its an addictive feeling only disturbed by the opening of your parachute at approximately 5,500 feet. The adventure is only half over as you take in the world around you while flying under a docile parachute. After experiencing flight, you’ll return to terra firma a changed human being. They say growth only happens when you exit your comfort zone… congratulations… you just leapt out of it!
