A tandem skydive is probably the best and easiest way to
find out if skydiving is for you. After only 15 minutes of ground preparation, you are ready to go.
We supply
you with a jumpsuit, altimeter, goggles, helmut, parachute and professional tandem instructor. A specially designed
harness connects you to your skilled instructor.
On the ride to altitude, you hear last minute instructions to
make your skydive more memorable. Before you know it, you are 13,000 feet above the earth's surface and ready to
jump out of the plane.
During freefall you can reach speeds up to 120 miles per hour. You get the option
to pull the "rip cord" yourself to deploy your parachute at a safe altitude of 5,000 feet.
For about
five minutes you can take in a birds-eye view of the beautiful southern San Joaquin Valley and surrounding Tehachapi Mountains
as you float gently back to the ground. Your instructor may also give you some final directions for a safe, soft landing.
You'll want to go again as soon as you land!
