Phoenix Tandem Skydiving

The Tandem Skydive Jump is the easiest, safest and most comfortable way to make a skydive. You experience all the exhilaration of skydiving, secure in the knowing that a trained instructor is harnessed snugly at your back. It is similar to taking a flying lesson; the instructor sits beside while you get hands-on experience. Our skydive instructors average well over 1000 jumps and have completed certification courses on the highly reliable Tandem Parachute System.

Upon arrival at Skydive Phoenix Inc, you watch a comprehensive videotape detailing your upcoming Tandem Jump experience. Then, with your assigned instructor, you learn about the high performance square gliding parachutes, practice exits from the aircraft, and go over freefall procedures.
Next, you and your instructor board the aircraft for the short ride to the jump altitude. Prior to exiting the aircraft, you move in front of the instructor where the harness is attached at four points, two at your shoulders and two at your waist. After exiting the aircraft, you freefall face to earth at 120 m.p.h.!
