The Skydiving Florida experience is like no other! At Skydiving Florida you will be

in skydiving! Use the information provided below to choose which first jump
you wish to make at Skydiving Florida.
*To make any skydive you must be at least 18 years of age.
Skydiving Florida highly recommends this method for your first skydive. Tandem
skydives require the least amount of training (usually less than an hour),
and maintain the highest degree of safety. Your instructor will be with you
through the entire skydive and parachute ride. Your jump will include approximately
70 seconds of freefall, followed by a canopy ride that lasts anywhere from
7 to 9 minutes. Should you request it, you may also assist in steering the
parachute.
AFF is the most advanced method of training to become certified to skydive on your own. Before your first jump you will attend a 4 to 6 hour training class that will teach you the fundamentals of skydiving. Your jump is made in the company of two USPA rated AFF Jump masters who provide direct assistance during the exit and freefall. You will have the opportunity to deploy your pilot chute, which will release your main canopy. Once your parachute is deployed, you will (with radio assistance) control a solo parachute descent back to the drop zone.
To make your first Jump, wear casual clothes suitable for outdoor activity
at the temperatures forecast for the day. For the warm months, shorts or jeans,
lightweight shirt, and tennis shoes are fine. In the winter a sweatshirt or
long sleeve warm shirt, jeans, lightweight gloves, and tennis shoes are usually
sufficient. On all your student training jumps Skydiving Florida will provide all gear needed for your skydive in Florida.
We encourage you to bring your friends, cameras, and picnic lunches. Children
are welcome if they are supervised while you are making your jumps.
