Tandem Skydiving
September 29 @ 9:00 am
*Sign-Up Deadline: 12 Sep
Time: 9:00am
Jump with us from 13,500 ft!! Your adventure begins after you fill out some paperwork, watch a short video, and then a USPA-certified tandem instructor will take you through a ground training session. You will then board the aircraft and ascend to your chosen jump altitude! As your aircraft climbs to altitude, be sure to enjoy the breathtaking views of the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic coastline.
You are now close to reaching altitude, and your instructor begins to fasten your harness to the parachute system built for two. The door opens and you and your instructor will jump out of the plane harnessed together in a special parachute system built for two people!
You will fall for almost a minute and reach speeds up to 120 mph. After the parachute opens you will glide through the sky towards the earth for 5-7 minutes! Land back on the ground, get unstrapped from your instructor, and ride that adrenaline high for the next week! Plan to spend at least 2 hours from start to finish.
