Your Tandem Skydiving Experience

During the flight, we will be climbing to our jump altitude over the breathtaking Gulf coastline to 10,500 feet! When the airplane door opens, you and your tandem instructor will leap together for the ride of a lifetime! As you are flying through the cool ocean air, you will eventually reach free-fall speeds of up to 120 mph! As the parachute opens, get ready to take in the views of Perdido Bay as it leads to the mouth of the Gulf of Mexico! After 5-7 minutes of gliding under parachute, your journey back to Earth ends with a soft & easy parachute landing.
