Tandem Frequently Asked Questions:
Q) What is the cost?
A) $235 + Tax ($244.40)
Q) How do we schedule a Jump?
A) First, let us know when you would like to go. We will then try to put together a schedule. E-mail works the best, as we can forward your request to all our instructors and pilots.
Q) How do I guarantee my appointment?
A) Send us a non-refundable deposit of $50.00. This will secure your slot. We schedule people in the order we receive their deposits! You can go at the last minute, but we can book-up quickly.
Q) How do deposits work?
A) Class sizes are limited. To ensure that you will have a place in a class, we take a $50 non-refundable deposit. The $50 is applied towards your skydive. While we welcome walk-ins, they will be accepted on a space available basis, after those with deposits. If we get un-jumpable weather, you do not lose your deposit, you may reschedule. No-shows, or cancellations due to non weather related reasons, will lose their deposit. Deposits are not refundable for any reason. Deposits may be placed over the phone with a credit card, by mail with a check, or in person.
Q) What happens if the weather is bad?
A) We will re-schudule your jump. Often the weather will change, and we will get to jump. If not, you may reschedule your jump for another day. If you have an appointment and do not wish to take a chance on the weather improving, you may call to reschedule.
Q) What type of payments do you accept?
A) We accept check, cash and most major credit cards.
Q) What is the weight limit for skydiving?
A) The weight limit is 210 pounds.
Q) What should I wear?
A) Please dress for the weather, and wear something that you won’t mind getting a little dirty. Loose fitting pants and a long sleeve tee-shirt with no collar works great. Please wear tennis shoes with no hooks for laces.
Q) What should I bring with me?
A) Bring yourself and be sober. Drugs and alcohol are not allowed on the drop zone.
Q) Do you have food available?
A) We don’t have food on the DZ. There are convenience stores within a mile or so. The main airport office is closed on the weekends. Feel free to bring a cooler and folding chairs.
Q) Can my friends and family come to watch?
A) Sure! Have them bring a camera. They will be able to see you land.
Q) Can I give skydiving as a gift?
A) We do offer gift certificates. It’s important that you bring the gift certificate with you when you intend to jump!
Q) Do I need an appointment?
A) Almost all tandems are by appointment. Walk-ins are always welcome, but will be taken on a space available basis.
Q) How much training is involved?
A) Tandem jump training is approximately 45 minutes.
Q) How long will I be at the airport?
A) How long is dependent on the weather, and the size of the class. For tandem students, plan on being at the airport for a half a day.
Q) I have some friends who want to jump. Do you offer any discounts?
A) We don’t offer any group discounts. Sorry!
Q) Do I have to make a tandem for my first jump? I would rather go by myself.

Q) How often are first jump classes held?

Q) Can we get free-fall video and stills?
