TANDEM SKYDIVING
Tandem skydiving is the easiest and most exciting way to experience the thrill of freefall near St. Louis. When you choose a tandem skydive, you’ll be securely attached to a highly trained, professional instructor who has years of experience and thousands of jumps under their belt. From the moment you gear up to the second you land, your instructor is there to guide you every step of the way, allowing you to relax and fully enjoy the adventure.
After a quick training session on the ground, you’ll board the aircraft and climb to altitude, taking in incredible views of the St. Louis area. Once the door opens, it’s go time! You and your instructor will exit together, launching into an unforgettable freefall at speeds of up to 120 mph. This is your moment—feel the rush, take in the views, and don’t forget to scream your lungs out as you fly through the sky!
One of the biggest advantages of a tandem skydive is that your instructor handles all the technical aspects, including the exit, freefall stability, parachute deployment, and landing. This makes tandem skydiving perfect for first-time jumpers, as well as anyone looking for a safe, fun, and stress-free experience.
Whether you’re checking off a bucket list item, celebrating a special occasion, or just looking for an adrenaline-packed adventure, tandem skydiving near St. Louis is an experience you’ll never forget. No prior experience is needed—just bring your sense of adventure and get ready for the ride of a lifetime!

Tandem skydiving isn’t a fashion contest! You will be most comfortable in loose fitting, seasonally appropriate clothes. On cooler days, you might want to opt for jeans or sweatpants and a long sleeved shirt. No skirts or dresses.
Shoes
Tennis shoes will work best. No boots, flip flops, sandals, or high heel shoes.
It is not advisable to skydive if you are pregnant, or have back, limb, or joint injuries. If you have concerns about your ability to participate safely, please consult your doctor!

You will learn the following from your instructor:
- How to safely walk on airport taxiways and around small aircraft.
- Proper aircraft exit procedures and proper free fall, canopy flight and landing body positions.
