TANDEM SKYDIVING: OUR FOCUS IS ON YOU

Skydive Long Island is a tandem-only operation. This means 100% of our availability is dedicated to our tandem customers, and our focus is on ensuring customer comfort, confidence, and satisfaction throughout each step of the skydiving process. Because we do not open our business to licensed skydivers, we do not have to occupy seats on the aircraft for other jumpers. This allows us to shorten customer wait times (weather permitting) and to keep our focus on providing every customer with an unparalleled skydiving experience. At Skydive Long Island, we take skydiving safety extremely seriously. Our planes are painstakingly maintained to FAA standards; we use the most advanced skydiving equipment available; and we hire only the most knowledgeable, licensed, and professional skydiving instructors in the industry. You do have options when it comes to skydiving in Brooklyn, but if you want an exclusive focus on tandem skydiving customer service, Skydive Long Island is, hands-down, the preeminent choice.
