Tandem Skydiving requires very little training (usually less than an hour) and is the most popular first jump, yet maintains a high degree of safety. You are attached to the front of your instructor's harness for the entire skydive and parachute ride. Your jump will include approximately 60 seconds of freefall, followed by a canopy ride that lasts anywhere from 7 to 9 minutes. You will be encouraged to steer the parachute. Should you request, you may also do flips and turns (steer yourself) in freefall! We highly recommend this method of enjoying your first skydive!
To make your first jump, wear casual clothes suitable for outdoor activity at the temperatures forecast for the day. For the warm months, shorts or jeans, lightweight shirt, and tennis shoes are fine. In the winter, a sweatshirt or long sleeve warm shirt, jeans, lightweight gloves, and tennis shoes are usually sufficient. On all your student training jumps, New Mexico Skydiving will provide you with everything necessary to make your skydive. We encourage you to bring your friends, cameras, and picnic lunches. Children are welcome if they are supervised while you are making your jumps New Mexico Skydive Center |
AFF
is the most advanced method of training individuals to skydive.
Before your first jump you will attend a 4 to 6 hour training
class that will teach you the fundamentals of skydiving. Your
jump is made in the company of two USPA rated AFF Jump Masters,
who provide direct assistance during the exit and freefall. You
will have the opportunity to deploy your pilot chute, which will
release your main canopy. Once your parachute is deployed, you
will (with radio assistance) control a solo parachute descent
back to the drop zone.
