Get ready for the most exciting time of your life! Skydiving
in Colorado offers you the opportunity to live life
to its fullest. The Denver Skydiving experience is like
no other! At Denver Skydiving Center you will be accompanied
on your skydive by the most enthusiastic skydive professionals
in skydiving! Use the information provided below to
choose which first jump you wish to make in Colorado
at a Denver Skydiving Center.
 *To
make any skydive you must be at least 18 years of age.
Tandem Skydiving is the most popular first jump
as it requires a minimal amount of training (less than
an hour), while maintaining 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 70 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!
 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.
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, Denver 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.
