Tandem Skydiving

On a Tandem skydive, you will exit the airplane from approximately 12,000 feet above the ground, attached to the front of a certified Tandem Instructor. Free fall time is about 40 seconds, followed by a five minute absolutely peaceful parachute flight.

This skydive is an excellent opportunity for the person who wants to experience the full thrill of skydiving before entering our student training program. The jump can be recorded by a freefall videographer and recorded onto a DVD. Digital or 35mm pictures may also be taken, creating a lasting memory of your skydive.

Our Tandem jumps are not just carnival rides! We train our Tandem students starting on their very first jump.

Family and friends are welcome, and may watch their friends and their Instructor land their parachute.

The requirements for making a Tandem jump are:
  • Complete all required waivers
  • Be in good health
  • Be at least 18 years of age
  • Not exceed 225 pounds
The cost is $200 for the jump and $75 for the video and/or pictures. Participants must call ahead to schedule their tandem jump. Tandem skydives are available on weekends and holidays so call now!

The Mid-America Sport Parachute Club is a USPA Group Member drop zone (www.uspa.org) and uses USPA rated Instructors to teach our students.
