Tandem Skydive is one of two options Skydive Red Deer offers in order for you to experience your first skydive. On a Tandem Skydive you are physically attached to an instructor by a harness. This allows you the thrill of freefall with the comfort of an experienced instructor. You jump from the plane in tandem from 10,000 feet above the ground, freefall for approximately a half of a minute, and then you descend under a parachute designed for two.
Together you and your professional skydiving instructor will pilot the parachute to the ground. After just 30 minutes of training you will be on your way to the experience of a lifetime. Please feel free to contact skydive Red Deer if you have questions regarding our safety record or any physical disability issues that may concern you.
The aircraft will fly to 10,000 feet above the ground. When we are at jumping altitude we will open the door to a very strong wind that seems a little intimidating at first but you get used to it quickly after the adrenalin rush takes over. You will then move toward the door and take your first steps into space.
Then you realize this doesn’t feel like falling at all, it feels like you’re soaring in suspended air. The feeling of floating and flying is unlike anything you will ever experience. Skydivers believe it’s why birds are always singing - because they can fly!
