WHAT TO EXPECT: Please allow a minimum of three hours for your jump. You will watch a short video, sign waivers, then meet with your instructor who will help you on with your gear, provide more information, and answer any questions you may have. Once on the plane, your instructor will offer further guidance.

Our maximum altitude for tandems is 13,000 feet.

WHAT TO WEAR: Dress comfortably. We have jumpsuits if you want to wear them, but you don't have to. Please do not wear a lot of jewelry, as you will need to remove it. Tennis shoes or shoes that will stay on are the best choice. If you wear flip flops you will have to go barefoot!

ONE LAST THING! Please recognize that as much as we'd like to be in control of the weather, we're not. Safety always comes first. Should your jump be weathered out, you can receive a rain check for the rate listed above, good for one year. Rain checks are not transferrable.
