Your First Skydive
Tandem Skydiving STL
Skydiving is the Ultimate Adventure!
If you’re ready for the adventure of a lifetime, tandem skydiving is the perfect way to make your first skydive!
Skydive St. Louis specializes in tandem skydiving so you can rest assured that you’ll be getting the ultimate tandem skydiving experience when you jump with us!
As a tandem skydiver, you will be securely attached to one of our highly experienced USPA certified instructors throughout the whole jump. Your tandem instructor will be responsible for your safety and security every step of the skydiving process.
Your tandem instructor will operate all of the equipment, but you will still have safety responsibilities in the jump. Before your tandem jump, you will receive training where you’ll learn the proper body position for exiting the aircraft and freefall. You will also learn how and why it is important to lift your legs for landing.
Tandem skydives are the perfect introduction for first-time skydivers, and it is not unusual for people to do multiple tandem skydives. A tandem jump is also ideal if you are looking to cross skydiving off your bucket list!
