Call to schedule your first jump 
in the Tandem Progression Program
and learn to sky dive or just jump for fun! 

Requirements for Tandem:

**YOU MUST BE AT LEAST 18 YRS OLD & UNDER 200 LBS
and fit enough to lift legs for a safe landing.**
(If you are over the weight limit, there are other options...call for details
 after reading "more info on restrictions" below.)

{We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason.}

On the day of your scheduled tandem skydive, always call first to check on the weather.   Wear comfortable clothes and tennis shoes.  You will be fitted with a harness, goggles, head gear, and a jumpsuit that goes over your clothing.

Plan to spend at least 3 hours to complete your sky dive,
due to a variety of unpredictable variables. 
We cannot guarantee that you will even be able to complete your
sky dive on your scheduled day,
but we will do everything possible to make it happen. 

After registering, watching a training video, about 30 minutes of ground training, and successfully completing a hanging harness practice, you will shuttle over to the airstrip to board a Cessna 206 or Twin Bonanza with your Tandem Master.  It takes about 20 minutes to climb to altitude (about 10,000 ft.). 
You will experience about 30-45 seconds of free fall and about 5 to 7 minutes under canopy, enjoying the spectacular views below,
all on video to share with family and friends, for an extra fee. 

Better yet, bring your family and friends to cheer you on
or even go on a tandem or a $25 observation flight with you! 
It's out of this world!!


Be prepared to get  hooked!!!  
When you do, your first tandem will go towards the 
The Tandem Progression Program, 
if you continue within 30 days.  
This program is designed for those who
want to learn to skydive
in the fastest, most efficient way.

You need to pass 10 levels (at least 9 jumps) of the Tandem Progression Program before soloing.  That includes 4 tandems, with about 30 minutes of prior ground training, and 5 1 Instructor Accelerated Freefall jumps, which take place after about 3 to 4 hours of ground training. These last 5 jumps consists of jumping with an instructor who holds on to you, makes sure you're stable, that you pull, etc., and you will land the parachute yourself, being talked down with radio. 

Prices goes down with each subsequent jump and  includes everything;  gear, training etc., except video.  (See link at the top for "Prices and Directions".)  If 30 days or more lapses between jumps, you will have to revert back 1 level for each 30 days without a jump. 
 
You need at least 25 jumps to get an A License.  After you complete all levels of the Tandem Progress Program successfully, you can solo or continue with coached jumps for the fast track.  Get started today!!!
 

**More info on restrictions:

You will be weighed when you arrive at the training center.  There are federal requirements that prevent us from allowing jumpers to exceed these weights.  Remember, your safety comes first!  There are no height requirements.

Tandem students between 200 and 240 lbs may be considered on a case-by-case basis according to instructor availability and proper harness fit.  If accepted by an available XL-rated tandem instructor, an additional fee will be applied...usually $1 per pound over the limit.

As with any sport, the better shape you are in, the easier it will be and the more fun you will have. However, one of the best features of the Tandem Program is that is has opened the sport up to the mainstream public. Almost anyone can make a tandem skydive. We've taken people with many different disabilities, even those who are missing limbs or are blind.  (They will also be considered on an individual basis.)  We have some of the most experienced Tandem Masters in the field. If you have a special requirement, call us! We will do everything we can to make your dream of flight come true!

If you have ear or sinus problems, experience seizures or fainting spells or have a weak heart, you should not be jumping. The best course of action in these cases is to check with your own doctor. If you have a medical problem, you will be asked to bring a release from your doctor before you can skydive.
