The Tandem Skydive is a great introduction to the sport and allows the passenger to experience freefall with little classroom time. The tandem skydiver is safely secured to a USPA certified tandem instructor during the entire skydive. After a short training period, (usually less than 30 minutes), the student and instructor jump from an altitude up to 10,000 feet and freefall for about 35-45 seconds. After this exhilarating freefall experience, the canopy ride begins at about 5,000 feet. The student and instructor work together to fly a parachute built for two people. This unforgettable experience will change the way you see the world forever.  <FAQ's>

"Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been and there you long to return."

This course offers the excitement of freefall on each jump, with the security of learning with an instructor at your side. It is convenient for those who do a tandem and decide to continue their training since your first tandem is also your IAF Level 1. The training for the IAF course begins with a series of 5 tandems and a ground school course that requires body position, flying techniques, emergency situations, equipment orientation and parachute deployment, canopy control, steering, and landing techniques. This course has a strong practical emphasis on the mastery of key skydiving skills. Once students are able to demonstrate all important procedures at a satisfactory standard, they are ready to jump solo, with the assistance of certified jumpmasters flying next to them in the air which is called an Assisted Freefall (AFF) jump. Before each skydive, students receive one-on-one training, which includes exit procedure, freefall sequence, and deployment instruction. Each jump is made from an altitude up to 10,500 feet, allowing for freefall time of about 35-45 seconds. With the security and assistance of their instructor, students use their freefall time to fly their body, perform altitude awareness checks, and deploy their own parachute. The duration of the excitement then extends to a  5 to 8 minute canopy ride. Each skydive is completed with a return to the airport grounds and a soft landing. After each skydive, students receive a one-on-one debriefing session and logbook entry time with their instructor. Each jump level is priced individually. Each level must be passed in order to go on to the next one. Each jump level is priced individually.
