Tandem Skydiving with Skydive Ogden

Experience the Thrill of Tandem Skydiving

Tandem skydiving is the best way to make your first jump. It allows a student to make a skydive with an experienced Tandem instructor, jumping from an altitude of 10,000-12,000 feet above the ground. It is an excellent introduction to the sport, yet requires a minimal amount of preparation time.

Utilizing a dual harness and an over-sized parachute built to carry two people, the Tandem system is designed for an instructor/student combination. The student wears a custom-fit harness and is securely attached to the instructor at four points. The instructor wears the Tandem harness/container system that contains the specially built main and reserve Tandem parachutes.

Only 15 to 30 minutes is required prior to the Tandem jump. Since the Tandem instructor controls all aspects of the skydive, the student is free to enjoy the exhilaration of nearly a one-minute freefall and the peaceful descent under canopy. Utilizing a dual ripcord and steering system, the student can take an active part in deploying the parachute as well as steering it once the canopy has opened. After landing, you’ll receive a first jump certificate.
