Turn your dream of flight into reality! A tandem skydive is a great way to experience the thrill of freefall for the first time. Don’t worry, you will be accompanied by a certified, experienced instructor at all times. Our instructors are among the most experienced skydivers in the country, with thousands of jumps each under their belts.

When you first arrive at the skydiving center (dropzone) proceed to check in at our Manifest counter. The dropzone is a busy place so we have multiple signs to lead the way. Our helpful manifest staff will confirm everyone in your group has completed payments and all the required waivers are complete. Once this is completed one of our tandem instructors will provide you with a Tandem Skydive Overview while fitting the harness you will wear for your skydive. Your instructor will then inspect the parachute system and you will be ready to board the aircraft for your Skydive!

If you purchased the skydiving pictures and skydiving videos package your instructor will capture a fun pre-jump interview to document just how you feel before your skydive. Your first jump is definitely something you do not want to miss capturing on pictures and video!

Once all jumpers have boarded the plane, the pilot will take off and start climbing to our jump altitude. It will take you 15-20 minutes to get to full altitude depending on the jump altitude you selected. Of course you chose the 13000 ft. jump!!!! Ask your instructor to point out the local Calgary, and Alberta area landmarks!

Once the airplane is climbing, your harness will be securely attached to your instructor’s harness. Your instructor will record a short interview to capture all of your emotions on the way up! (Did we mention you should get the video and picture package?)

Before you exit the aircraft your instructor will repeat the important parts of the Tandem Skydive Overview so it’s fresh in your memory. They will remind you where to place your hands, the proper body position, and a reminder to breath, relax and HAVE FUN!
