WHAT’S INCLUDED IN THE PRICE OF A TANDEM SKYDIVE?
You deserve the total experience when you pay for a tandem skydive:
- A highly experienced tandem skydiving instructor the experience of a lifetime.
- Training where to learn about your responsibilities on the dive and what you can expect.
- Use of all gear, such as jumpsuits, goggles and helmets.
- Ride to altitude – about 20 – 25 minutes – in our large Twin Otters with more room and comfort than at smaller drop zones using smaller airplanes.
- Approximately 60 seconds in freefall.
- Around 5-6 minutes of parachute flight
- An unforgettable experience of a lifetime
- A comprehensive debrief with your tandem instructor – don’t underestimate the importance of this! Your jump will be overwhelming. We provide the debrief with your instructor so that you will recall what just happened, giving longer-lasting, more vivid memories and recollection. It also provides a chance to talk about our AFF program.
- A Tandem Certificate documenting your jump
- Videos and photo packages sold separately
COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH A FIRST TIME SKYDIVE
Some people select a tandem skydiving school solely based on price. And, yes, you are selecting a school! Tandem skydiving is considered a training jump by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This training jump introduces you to the sport. About 3-4% of all persons making a tandem jump pursue becoming a licensed skydiver, usually through AFF. It is unusual for someone to make their first tandem jump knowing they want to become a licensed skydiver. For many, it’s that first jump … and they just love it! You will too!
Drop zone costs to provide a high-quality first-time skydive are more than what you pay for your jump. Your total experience is not just getting out of an airplane. It’s your assurance that you are jumping with a United States Parachute Association member skydiving center – and the obligation that imposes on maintaining equipment. It’s your assurance that you have aircraft maintained to the highest standards. Our aircraft are certified to fly for military freefall jumps. It’s the ability to be among our nation’s most highly trained skydiving and parachuting athletes and really being able to see and be involved in the sport. Just being at Skydive City will enlighten you to the sport and all it is.
