What To Expect
Arrival & Gear Up
Our helpful manifest staff will confirm everyone in your group has completed payments and all the required waivers are complete. Once this is completed one of our instructors will provide you with a Tandem Skydive Overview while fitting the harness you will wear for your skydive. Your instructor will then inspect the parachute system and you will be ready to board the aircraft for your Skydive!
Boarding & Take Off!
Your instructor will guide you every step of the way boarding the airplane. There will be plenty of fun moments to capture on camera, so be sure to select the skydiving video and pictures package when you make your reservation! Once all jumpers have boarded the plane, the pilot will take off and start climbing to our jump altitude. It will take around 15-20 minutes to get to full altitude. Ask your instructor to point out the local landmarks! Once the airplane is climbing, your harness will be securely attached to your instructor’s harness. Your instructor will record a short interview to capture all of your emotions on the way up! Before you exit the aircraft your instructor will repeat the important parts of the Tandem Skydive Overview so it’s fresh in your memory. They will remind you where to place your hands, the proper body position, and a reminder to breathe, relax and HAVE FUN!Exit & Freefall
The most thrilling part.. stepping out of the airplane into the blue sky! Be sure to keep your eyes open and smile for the camera as you exit the plane!
Take in the breathtaking views of Cleveland, Akron, and Mentor in the distance far below. Feel the wind in your face and your heart pounding with an excitement you’ve never felt before! You will be in free fall for about 60 seconds. Enjoy the unforgettable views with nothing to worry about as your instructor will open the parachute when it’s time! If you purchased the skydiving videos package your instructor will capture every second of your free fall from exiting the aircraft to parachute opening, and your soft safe landing.
Parachute Ride & Landing
Once the parachute opens, you will slow down and enjoy the quiet yet breathtaking parachute flight. As you slowly descend for around 5 minutes, you will have plenty of time to enjoy the sights and chat with your instructor. Ask them to point out the notable spots on skyline! To most skydivers, flying the parachute is every bit as enjoyable as free fall.
And finally, the landing! Your instructor will steer the canopy to the landing area right next to our hangar. Your friends will be there watching you land from our spectator area. Our photographer will capture that moment of pure joy as your feet touch the ground!
