Tandem skydiving is the most popular way to experience skydiving for first timers. With less than 30 minutes training participants can jump attached to an expert instructor. First the participant will attend a short class conducted by a United States Parachute Association (USPA) licensed Tandem Instructor. The instructor will have a minimum of 3 years experience in skydiving, 500 jumps, and hold a USPA Master Skydiving license, although most of our instructors have thousands of skydives. In the class the participant learns an overview of the process, correct freefall body position, emergencies, exiting the aircraft, operating the parachute after freefall, landing approach, and landing. Afterwards, an instructor will outfit the participant with a jumpsuit, harness, goggles, altimeter, and helmet. The harness attaches to the parachute directly at 4 seperate points so there is no chance of coming loose. Once suited up, it's only an 8 minute ride to 14,000 feet above the ground where the participant exits into freefall at 120 MPH for about a minute. The participant or the instructor will open the parachute around 5,000 feet and you will spend 5 to 7 minutes both steering it to the ground. The landings are typically soft, sliding in on your behind or standing up. The entire process takes 2 to 4 hours from arrival at our facility until leaving. Tandem passengers must weigh 254 lbs or less. Additional rates and restrictions may apply to passengers over 230 lbs. read more

AFF Ground School & Level 1 Skydive Flight Ticket
During the ground school the participant will learn everything they need to safely make a skydive. This includes equipment, how to control their body in freefall, emergency procedures, and parachute control and landing. The ground school starts early the morning of the Level 1 skydive and typically lasts around 6 to 8 hours. During the Level 1 skydive the participant will have two instructors. Their objectives are to remain stable in freefall, maintain altitude awareness, and open the parachute on time. The instructors remain with the participant throughout freefall to ensure they open their parachute. After opening, the instructors use radio instruction to assist the participant in flying the parachute to the ground. read more
