Here's a brief description of each type of jump:
Tandem skydiving
- Takes about 5 hours.
- Instructor hooked to your back through the skydive.
- Simple, quick, and easy.
- Please call to schedule an appointment.
After payment and registration you will receive 10 to 15 minutes of training from an instructor who will be jumping with you or your group. We will book you on a plane to go up. When ready to go you and your instructor will gear-up and check the gear before you get on the plane. A quick practice at the plane and off you go. You will get about a 30 minute plane ride up to 10,000 feet during which you will hook-up, review the jump, check the gear again, move to the door and jump! The free fall will be about 30 seconds after which we will give you the opportunity to pull you own ripcord followed by a ride under the parachute ranging from 1 to 7 minutes. Post-jump celebrations of certificates and tee-shirts. More details about Tandem skydiving.
