Skydive Las Vegas offers state of the art Sigma parachute equipment, and all of their instructors have thousands of jumps under their belts, each is licensed by the United States Parachute Association. You’ll catch one of our free shuttles from the Las Vegas Strip to the Skydive Las Vegas hanger, where you’ll be trained and outfitted for the jump. We will than fly you up to 15,000 feet MSL in Skydive Las Vegas’ Brand New 2009 PAC 750XL.
During the airplane ride and skydive you can see: Lake Mead, Hoover Dam, Valley of Fire, Colorado River, Lake Mohave, Red Rock Canyon, Mt. Charleston and the entire Las Vegas Strip. The view is unbelievable. Then you and your instructor will jump freefalling at 120 to 140 mph (190 kph) for 50 to 60 seconds. After the parachute opens you will have a 5 to 7 minute parachute ride where you will be able to help the instructor steer the parachute to the ground for a nice soft landing.
It’s time to get ready for the most extraordinary ride of your life!!!
Tandem Skydiving is the easiest, safest and by far the most popular way to make your first skydive. It also gives you a total introduction to skydiving from the ground up. Attached securely to one of our highly qualified and licensed tandem instructors via a dual harness system, you get to experience the ride of your life and fly a parachute made for two. We can have you in the air after a short training session on exiting the aircraft and freefall body position. After the parachute opens your instructor will be on hand to offer guidance as you fly the parachute together. A tandem jump is a great way to experience the thrill of skydiving with the security and the close supervision of a highly experienced Instructor.
As with all skydiving activities, wearing comfortable, weather appropriate clothes and tennis shoes are must. We will supply you with a jumpsuit, goggles and a harness to secure you to your instructor’s harness.
Tandem skydives are offered 7 days a week.
