Local tips

  1. 1Book the earliest slot of the day — winds pick up by afternoon and cancellations happen.
  2. 2Skip breakfast. Not because you'll be sick, because a heavy stomach plus the parachute opening is a bad combo.
  3. 3Add the video package. You won't want to re-ride just to get footage.

Frequently asked questions

How high is the jump?

Typical tandem altitude is 10,000–14,000 feet, giving 30–60 seconds of free fall before canopy deploys.

Is skydiving safe?

Tandem skydiving has an extremely strong safety record with USPA-member drop zones. You're harnessed to a licensed instructor with thousands of jumps.

What's the weight limit?

Typical cap is 230–240 lbs for tandem passengers. Check with the operator directly when you book — it depends on height and gear.

What should I wear?

Athletic clothes, sneakers (no open-toe shoes), and no loose jewelry. They'll give you a jumpsuit and goggles over the top.
