Description of service
Tandem jump with certified instructor was $150.00. You have the option of having a photographer or Camera man jump along side of you and document your fall for an additional charge of $30-$50 depending upon which service you choose. Your tandem instructor will also be wearing a video recorder on his wrist which will allow them to capture more intimate moments with voice and sound after your chute has opened and you are slowly floating to the ground. The DVD includes your choice of 2 songs to be played throughout the jump. You are given a list to choose from before you suit up for the jump.
Review of Service
The instructors were very professional and confident in what they do, which in turn makes it a lot easier on the first time jumper. They walk you through the stages that you will be experiencing before you even leave the ground and instill a good sense of safety in their abilities. You get to know them as not only the instructor you will be strapped to for a 15,000 to 18,000 foot fall, but as a person, and it is that personal touch that would keep me coming back, as well as recommending their services over other places in the area.
Tips
My advice is for discounted rates, get a group of friends together and call ahead. Most often the place will be able to accommodate larger groups at a group rate. Also, be sure to have snug fitting foot wear. While they do have some that they can provide to those who have forgotten, it is first come first serve and not all sizes are available. Don't be turned away due to your footware. I recommend spending the extra cash to have the DVD made, especially if you are a first time jumper. This is definitely an experience that needs to be seen from different angles.
