First time jumpers are securely harnessed to a certified USPA Tandem Skydive Instructor.

We provide everything from pre-jump instruction, all needed equipment and skydive goggles. Tandem Skydiving allows most people to experience terminal velocity and the sensation of flight under a high performance parachute. To freefall over a mile securely fastened to a USPA-certified instructor is the safest way to experience skydiving today.

Here are some examples of clothing to wear skydiving:

Pants

T-shirt

Tennis Shoes

Please no boots or sandals.

Eat lightly, drink plenty of water. Dramamine is great for motion sickness.

Skydiving is an extreme sport that requires many factors to be in place to be safe.

It is not uncommon to make more than one attempt at scheduling your jump. Many factors can delay or cancel jumps for the day including weather, airport delays, aircraft maintenance, instructor availability and other factors have delayed skydive operations. Skydiving is an extreme sport, be patient, plan ahead.

It generally takes 1-2 hours to complete your first Tandem jump.
Remember to be flexible, plan to check-in for your skydive 15-30 minutes prior to your appointment time. At that time you will be given your actual jump time. In most cases you will be on the aircraft within 30 minutes to an hour after arrival. Please allow 4 hours to complete your skydive. Texas has pretty predictable weather, but unexpected delays are not unusual.
