What to Expect

First Time Skydive

Tandem Skydiving

Your first-time skydiving with us will be a tandem skydive. Tandem skydiving means that you will be secured to one of our certified USPA tandem instructors via a specially designed harness system.


Arrival and Training

Your reservation time is your arrival time. It is the time you are checking in. It is not your flight time. It is important to arrive on time, in preparation for your first skydive. Upon arrival, you will watch a short instructional video, then fill out our electronic waiver and make your final payment. Once that is completed, you and your group are placed in queue to get on the next available flight. About 15 minutes prior to your flight we will page you into the hangar to get geared up. You will meet your instructor and videographer if booked, and off you go to the plane to make your skydive! Our aircraft hold up to 18 passengers and we take between 2-8 tandem students up per aircraft.


 Videographer

If you choose to get the professional HD video package, one of our professional videographers will begin accompanying you as you gear up, to capture a preflight interview while you prepare for the experience of a lifetime. The videographer will continue to be right there with you throughout your experience


On the Airplane

During your ascent to altitude, enjoy breathtaking views of the entire island, Atlantic Ocean, and Long Island Sound with your instructor as your personal tour guide. On a clear day you can even see to NYC, CT, and down the NJ coastline! If you chose the video option, your personal videographer will capture your pre-jump jitters as you prepare to exit the aircraft.


During Your Skydive

Once at jumping altitude, you and your instructor will exit the aircraft and freefall for up to 60 seconds at approximately 120MPH! Your videographer will be right there with you, capturing your entire freefall experience. At about 5,000ft your instructor will deploy the parachute. After enjoying a scenic 5-7 minute canopy ride, you will land on our our private grassy landing area where, if you have purchased our video package, your videographer will be waiting to film your final approach and landing. You'll receive a dvd with your HD video, and also be able to view it at youtube.com/sdliTandems.
