Student Day

Not only have we been having great success in bringing in first time jumpers with our Tandem Program, we have also seen a large increase in the amount of people interested in continuing on past that first jump and going through our student program.

With our progression training, your first Tandem jump counts towards your United States Parachute Association (USPA) "A" license requirements. We utilize the Tandem skydive as an initial instructional tool to prepare you for your first solo student jump.

With the increase in jumpers going through our student program we decided to set up a special student day where our staff could get together with our students and work with them one-on-one without the distractions of the normal drop zone operations to deal with. This allowed us to focus on just the students and their proficiency skills and allowed the students to jump several times and advance more quickly.

The evening was a great success! The weather was perfect all evening and we had a half dozen students show up to jump. We had a couple of students working on their freefall skills, several working their way through their Instructor Assisted Deployment (IAD) jumps and practicing their pilot chute deployments, and one who finally had the opportunity to make his first solo student jump!

Congratulations to all the students who came out and jumped and many thanks to the Skydive Inc. staff that showed up to make it happen.
