Description

Tandem jumps are a very popular way to make your first jump. They allow the curious potential student to experience, first-h&, the thrills of skydiving without the stress of AFF or SL progression. The tandem skydive only requires about 30 minutes of ground preparation. Tandem jumping, by definition, consists of an experienced jumper called a “Tandem Instructor” & the passenger.

The tandem instructor rides on the back & wears an extra-large parachute system capable of carrying weights of up to 500 pounds; easily able to safely suspend two people. The passenger (or tandem progression student) wears a specially designed harness that attaches in four points to the front of the tandem instructor. A tandem freefall generally lasts between 30 & 50 seconds, followed by a four minute canopy ride to the ground. Tandem jumping provides an obvious advantage for the adventurous spirit who cannot adequately meet the physical or proficiency requirements for the S/L or AFF jumps.
By relying on Tandem Instructor’s skills, they will still be able to experience the thrill of skydiving. Although most people do the tandem skydive as once off thrill, it should be noted that the skills introduced during the ground & air instruction are real skydiving skills & can serve as an introduction to your skydiving career. Many people to the tandem in order to make up their minds whether they want to continue with either Static Line or AFF progression.
Body position instruction, pulling the handle, checking the parachute & steering down for the landing are all skills you will build on during Static Line or AFF progression.
