Experience Skydiving in Moab, Utah
Tandem
skydiving is today's most innovative and popular way of making that
first jump. Your adventure begins with a 30-minute ground school where
you meet staff members, view instructional videotapes, and get a general
overview of your jump. You will learn how to exit the aircraft, freefall
techniques, and body position during landing. Tandem jumping uses the
dual instruction approach similar to learning how to fly an airplane,
and your tandem instructor will be there to back you up through all
phases of your skydive.
The plane ride lasts about 20-25 minutes from which the views are incredible. The heart of the beautiful red rock canyon country of southeastern Utah and breathtaking mountains will surely enhance your experience.
When the time comes to jump, you and your instructor will exit the plane miles above the earth (10,000 feet) and you will feel the exhilaration of free-fall on your very first jump! The free-fall lasts for over 35 seconds and you will reach speeds of up to 120 mph. Most people find it amazing that they feel totally in control when in free-fall. The wind actually feels like a cushion of air suspending you in space and feels more like floating than falling!
Once
the parachute is opened, you and your instructor will glide gently back
to earth. The canopy ride lasts for about 5-9 minutes depending on how
fast you like to fly the parachute. The canopy is a rectangular shape
similar to the wing of an airplane and completely controllable.
Tandem jumping is such an incredible experience, you will get the high-speed
thrill of freefall, followed by the serenity and beauty of the parachute
ride. Once you are back on earth, you will receive a first jump certificate
and all the necessary information on how to become a licensed skydiver.
Whether you are planning to become a skydiver or just want to experience
the thrill of skydiving, this is a great introduction into the exciting
world of freefall skydiving.
