How long will it take to make my first jump?
There is a 30 to 35 minute preparation video and personal training conducted
by your Tandem Instructor. We usually have you on your way home 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 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 as old as 84 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/Tank 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?
Some people get a little motion sickness during the parachute ride, but not
the freefall. If you are susceptible to motion sickness, then, if you are
comfortable taking such medication, a Gravol or
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.
