On the Ground:
First, you need to fill out the required paperwork, after that you will receive a brief instruction of about 20 minutes. This includes exiting the aircraft and body position in freefall. Other instruction, including how to land will be given while you are attached to your instructor on a dual harnessed parachute throughout the Skydive.

Equipment:
A Jumpsuit and soft helmet are supplied. We recommend that you bring sportswear, athletic Sneakers, and socks that will fit comfortably under your jumpsuit. Freefall Video or landing photographs are available upon your request.

The Jump:
You will enter the aircraft with your instructor, and climb to an altitude of 13,500 feet. The freefall of the jump will be approximately 40 seconds. At appx 5000 feet, your instructor will deploy the main canopy, and you will get about a four minute ride under the canopy.

If you decide to get the jump with video and still pictures, a videographer dedicated to you will join you on your skydive. Some dropzones will only have the tandem instructor attach a camera to his hand to accomplish this. We feel that this compromises safety, as well as giving you a substandard video, and thats why you always get a dedicated, experienced, and talented videographer with your tandem skydive at Skydive Long Island!

After The Jump:
There will be an individual critique by your Tandem Master. Tandem Jump Certificate is presented with hearty Congratulations. Don't forget to visit manifest again to pick up a T shirt to remember the occasion!

We highly recommend making reservations for returning jumps. Try to arrive as prepared for returning jumps as you did for your first, wear appropriate clothing, no boots or shoes with hooks, bring your logbook, and don't forget to eat!
