How long will it take to make my first jump?
There is a 30 minute preparation video and personal training session conducted
by your Tandem Instructor. We usually have you on your way in about two
hours, but you should plan on half a day. We can't control the weather.

Does it
matter what age I am or if I'm in poor physical condition?
We look at people individually to assess their ability. We may not be able to
take you if your weight exceeds 250 pounds or you are in poor health.
Skydiving is a very physical activity, and we will not let you jump if we do
not feel that it is safe for you to do so. There is no maximum age limit, we
have taken people over 80 years old, but we do require you to be a minimum
age of 18 with a picture ID.

What if I
wear glasses or contacts?
No problem, we supply goggles that will fit over your glasses or keep your
contacts in.

What do I
wear?
You should wear tennis shoes and clothes appropriate for the season. Shorts
and a T-shirt on hot days, long pants and a comfortable long sleeve shirt for
cooler days. If you would like to wear a jumpsuit, we will provide one for
you.

Do you jump in
all weather?
No, we will not be jumping if it is raining or very windy. However, we can
still train you so that you are prepared if it clears or have to return
another day. Weather sometimes causes delays but we will do our best to get
you in the air as soon as possible.

Will I get
sick?
A very few people get a little motion sickness during the parachute ride, but
not the freefall. If you are susceptible to motion sickness an
over-the-counter medication such as Dramamine will probably help you. We can
fly the parachute like the wildest roller coaster or as smoothly as you wish.

Can I get a license and how do I do it?
Yes. You can get your license training with us at Emerald Coast
Skydiving Center.
We can train you from your first jump through your expert license. For more
information see our License
page.
