Important Details and Frequently Asked Questions
What is tandem skydiving?
Tandem skydiving is the best method for making your first skydive. It takes a minimal amount of instruction, and allows you to make your initial skydive(s) with an instructor harnessed to you for the entire skydiving experience.

Why choose a tandem skydive?
Tandem skydiving is perfect for your first skydiving jump; tandem skydives require minimal training and maintain the highest degree of safety. Your instructor will be with you through the entire skydive and parachute ride, so you can really enjoy the incredible views during your first jump.

Why choose us?
We are the only drop zone in Florida with RVT video technology and scenic flights over the ocean with every tandem jump. We observe only the very strictest safety regimen for your comfort and protection.

What can I expect from my tandem skydiving experience?
Before your jump, you will have a 15-minute class on how to help your instructor make your skydive the safest and most exciting skydiving experience possible. After learning the basics of the tandem skydive, your instructor will help you into your harness and perform a safety check on the gear. Feel free to ask your instructor about safety checks.

Walking to the airplane may be the most intimidating part, but when you hear the engine roar you feel a surge of energy and know you are ready.

At about 3,000 feet, (3 minutes after takeoff), you will start your scenic flight over the ocean. You will see the Miami Skyline, the Atlantic, the Keys and the whole South Florida coastline.

At 5,000 feet, your instructor may show you his altimeter and tell you this is the altitude he will be opening the parachute. Finally, over two miles above the ground, your instructor will ask you to assist him in getting ready for the skydive. You will know it's time to go when the door opens and the wind comes whirling through the plane.

Right before you jump, the camera will be pointing at you as you look back into the plane at your friends. READY... SET... GO!!!!!! Don’t forget to smile!

How long is the freefall?
120 mph of freefall for over 40 seconds. You feel like you are flying as your video camera captures it all.

What will it feel like?
When your parachute opens, you will feel the wind stop and you'll be peacefully floating down from 5,000 feet.

How long will the experience last?
You will reach 120 mph of freefall during over 40 seconds before your parachute is deployed and you begin your ride down under canopy. Your parachute ride lasts about 7 minutes.

How much control will I have?
Enthusiastic first timers may be able to pull the parachute themselves, so be sure to ask if you are interested.
Under canopy, you can steer the parachute and ask your instructor questions about the jump. Remember to look around at all the beautiful scenery, but don’t worry because your video will capture everything.

Landing back at the landing area will surprise you with the ease that people land their parachutes. When you watch, you will see them landing as if they were stepping off of their front porch.

When you are done, you can enjoy a refreshment and a sandwich at our Airport Restaurant!
