A tandem jump provides the opportunity for a first time jumper to experience modern sport skydiving with little training. After approximately one hour of instruction you can make a jump using a parachute system built for two people, an instructor and a student. The tandem system will allow you and your instructor to freefall together for 45 to 60 seconds, then fly the canopy together to landing. Tandem jumping is an excellent way to take the fear and uncertainty out of your first jump.
	The cost of a tandem jump is $235 inclusive (no other hidden fees). You must be 18 years of age and less than 230 pounds. Courses are offered Wednesday through Sunday. Pre-registration is a must for weekdays and although not mandatory on the weekends, very helpful. To make reservations call 800-909-JUMP (5867). Freefall camera flyers can be hired to photograph and video your jump. The cost is $99 and includes an edited video and a  DVD of your still pictures shot during your jump.
