First Skydive Info and Prices

Your First Skydive!
Whether your goal is to become a licensed skydiver or make just one jump, Skydive Zion is a great place to train. We offer the most advanced and proven training methods, and all instructors are certified by the U.S. Parachute Association.
Tandem Jump - $205.00 (compare prices) --includes all recent fuel price increases--
Tandem jumping has helped make skydiving available to the mainstream, because people 18 or older, 225 pounds or less, and in reasonably good physical condition can make a tandem skydive.
Training and ground preparation is only 30 minutes to an hour because you can be trained during the jump itself; much like you learn to drive a car - with an instructor.
After the training is complete, you and the instructor will climb in the airplane and enjoy a spectacular flight overlooking Zion National Park and Southern Utah.
Twenty minutes later, securely harnessed to a professionally trained tandem instructor, you will freefall from 14,000 feet above sea level! During the freefall there is no longer any weight on you, and you can't tell the instructor is behind you, so you get the full effect of making a freefall skydive. At Skydive Zion you can do rolls, turns, even pull your own ripcord on your first skydive! After a 45 second freefall, you or your instructor will open the parachute at 5,000 feet, then you help fly the parachute through a five to ten minute flight to a soft landing on the airport.
Take a look at the Photographs for a better understanding of the dive, and consider having your first skydive videotaped!

The tandem jump is the perfect way to experience skydiving for the first time! After your tandem skydive, you can continue your training by making a second tandem, known as a Level Two Tandem; see continuing training.
AND GET READY TO HAVE A GREAT TIME!
