Tandem Jump:
For the first timer, an Introductory Jump is available at the Parachute Center. The Introductory Jump includes a plane ride furnished by the Parachute Center, with the equipment and training provided by an authorized independent, specially trained instructor. The Introductory Jump will give you an overall look as the sport of skydiving. The jump is from 13,000 feet and will give you 60 seconds of freefall (approximately two miles), and a five minute descent under a specially designed parachute.
Weight is an important factor on the tandem jump. If you weigh over 200 pounds, there is a service charge per pound for every pound over 200. We can take people up to 300 lbs. You will still go to the top altitude of 13,000 feet. It will be a normal freefall time and about a 5 minute descent under the parachute.
The Introductory Jump will introduce you to the sport in the safest possible environment under the direct supervision of your Instructor.
We offer great Video and Photo packages!
Skydive Training:
You must do a tandem skydive within 30 days of starting the student training program.
The Accelerated Training Program is the latest approach for training students the skills and techniques of Skydiving. This includes the seven levels of training and jumps the student will progress through. The unique feature offered by this program includes the student and Instructor making each jump together from 13,000 feet, about a 50 second freefall. Not only will the student learn aircraft procedures, but also the freefall body position and relative work (skydiving with other enthusiasts) skills will be introduced and mastered under direct supervision of your Instructor. This is a fast paced program and the student will complete this program within 2 to 3 consecutive days. This course is offered during the week (Monday through Friday) by appointment only.
The Center uses all modern equipment and training techniques. The price for all jumps includes the equipment, plane ride, all instruction and the jump. Wear loose comfortable clothing, tennis shoes and bring food. After each jump you will receive an individual critique and entry in your own personal logbook. For either program it is to your benefit to complete the course in a timely manner and continue on into skydiving. Feel free to call with any further questions.
