The tandem skydive is by far the most popular choice for first time jumpers. Requiring only ten minutes of instruction, the student can experience the thrill of free fall with relative ease. The student is attached to an instructor with a special harness. They both exit the aircraft together and descend under one parachute. During the entire skydive, the instructor is safely guiding the student. An appointment is highly recommended.
Minimum Age: 18

A student can continue to progress towards solo freefall with the Accelerated Tandem Progression program. This program is comprised of eight levels involving a progression from tandems to solo jumps.
