The advent of tandem jumping has made it possible for almost anyone to experience the thrill of jumping out of an airplane and free-falling at speeds of over 130 MPH, while attached to a veteran jump master to open the parachute and guide you to the landing site. This "no pressure" approach enables you to absorb the exhilaration of skydiving with minimal training while having the comfort of a highly skilled instructor right there with you the whole time.
Because you connect to the front of the instructor, none of the sensation is lost, and most first timers comment that the feeling is almost as though they were jumping solo.
There is nothing that can compare!
What should I expect?
We aim to provide the ultimate Las Vegas adrenaline rush, but first there's the paperwork!
Documentation
Although tandem skydiving involves relatively little training it IS important that all participants understand and appreciate that there are risks associated with skydiving and aviation related activities. While in our classroom, you will watch a video explaining the risks and you will be asked to review our release of liability document. Please read this document carefully and only sign it if you have understood and completely agree with its content.
Practice
After a short practice session, you will be fitted with your jumpsuit. Your tandem harness, which connects you to your instructor, will be adjusted to conform to your body. Because of the wind speed encountered, you will also be given protective goggles to wear. (Don't worry if you wear contact lenses or corrective eyeglasses, we have goggles for these too.) Sturdy footwear is required. (We have a selection of sneakers if you have forgotten yours.)
Aircraft Flight
Now it is starting to feel REAL!!!
The short 20 minute flight to jump altitude gives you time to take in the whole experience. Marvel at the surreal view of Las Vegas surrounded by the natural beauty of Red Rock Canyon and Mt. Charleston as you prepare to make your skydive!
Jump Time!
Shortly before you prepare to exit, your instructor will attach to you via the harness system you are wearing. As you position yourself for your exit, remind yourself that you are embracing all that life has to offer and living to the fullest.

Then...
Free-Fall
Falling towards Mother Earth at 130 MPH -- ENOUGH SAID!

Parachute Flight
The transition from Free-Fall to hanging beneath the parachute is one of life's unforgettable moments. The noise from the Free-Fall gives way to the peaceful tranquility of gliding beneath an open parachute with your new best friend! Today's parachutes are highly maneuverable and controllable enabling your instructor to guide you down to our landing area.
What's Next?
Now you are a skydiver!
If you never make another jump, you will have a memory that will stay with you always.
However, for those interested in taking the next step to becoming qualified and licensed to jump solo, we offer complete courses for beginners. Carefully structured and adminstered by some of the best instructors in the industry, the accelerated Free-Fall course can be completed in as little as a few days.
