Tandem jumps allow you to freefall for about 45 seconds and fly the canopy for 6 to 8 minutes with the assistance of an instructor. When making a Static Line Jump you will exit the plane at 4500 feet and the parachute will deploy immediately allowing for about six minutes of canopy flight, once again flying by yourself. If you'd like to experience freefall and canopy flying with very little training, tandem is probably for you. If you want to make just one parachute jump by yourself for the least amount of money, static line is probably for you. If you want to learn to skydive, AFF is the easiest, fastest and ultimately the most inexpensive way to learn to skydive.
Any first jump is an unmatched experience for the money.
Tandem plan to be here half a day. You must be at least 18 years of age regardless of parent consent. The weight limit for all three types of jumps is 230lbs. The sensation of freefall is more like flying than falling. Once the parachute is open the flight is quiet and inspiring.
