Tandem Skydiving Maryland

The Best First Time Skydiving Experience

Tandem Skydiving

Your adventure begins after you fill out some paperwork, watch a short video, and then a USPA-certified tandem instructor will take you through a ground training session. You will then board the aircraft and ascend to your chosen jump altitude! As your aircraft climbs to altitude, be sure to enjoy the breathtaking views of the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic coastline.

You are now close to reaching altitude, and your instructor begins to fasten your harness to the parachute system built for two. The door opens and you and your instructor will jump out of the plane harnessed together in a special parachute system built for two people!

You will fall for almost a minute and reach speeds up to 120 mph. After the parachute opens you will glide through the sky towards the earth for 5-7 minutes! Land back on the ground, get unstrapped from your instructor, and ride that adrenaline high for the next week!

"Full Send It"

With this much freefall, you will have the time to regain your senses and truly appreciate the awesomeness of the particular situation you have found yourself in.

When the plane reaches altitude you and your instructor will exit the aircraft and free fall for about 55 seconds at 120 mph.
