Skydive Spaceland Programs - Tandem
Adventure
A Tandem skydive adventure allows you to
experience the thrill of a lifetime! In a fun-filled
half-hour class, we not only teach you how to pull the
ripcord, but we also show you how to steer and land the
parachute just like a professional. Experience has told us
this is the best way to start learning how to skydive, and
the most fun! After your orientation class, we take you up
to 14,000 feet, giving you about 65 seconds of freefall
time. All the while, you are harnessed to your expert
instructor, who is there to ensure your safety and
enjoyment.
After falling at 120 miles per hour,
you'll slow your descent at 6,000 feet by pulling the
ripcord and deploying your parachute. Then you begin a
five- to seven-minute exciting parachute descent to a
soft, on-target landing. After landing you will receive a
logbook from your instructor to certify that you made a
Tandem training skydive.
Each skydive you make with us counts
towards your skydiving license certification. After making
two to three tandem skydives, you can proceed into the
Skydiver Training Program (STP),
where you wear your own parachute rig and are supervised
by one of our rated instructors. As a bonus, your
instructor will video every solo training skydive for
FREE. Upon completion of the Skydiver Training Program,
you will have completed the objectives required to get a
skydiving license from the
United
States Parachute Association. The STP takes only 25
fun-filled skydives to complete, and that includes your
Tandem skydives.
Note: You must be at least 18 years of
age to skydive, and there is a $20.00 airlift charge for
Tandem Skydivers over 240 lbs. Tandem Skydivers over 240
lbs will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
