Pacific Skydivers Ltd. has been introducing first time jumpers to the sport of skydiving for 20 years. We work closely with the Canadian Sport Parachute Association (CSPA), to ensure we are providing the best possible instruction available. All of our instructors have earned CSPA "Instructor" ratings for the program they are teaching, plus a Coach One or Two rating from the Coaching Association of Canada. Expect the BEST, when you choose to make your First Skydive with Pacific Skydivers Ltd!
Please note: You must be 18 years of age or older (regardless of parental consent) and under 230 lbs for the First Jump Tandem and Solo course.
Your Tandem Skydive starts with 1/2 hour of ground preparation. The instructor wears special equipment built to take 2 people skydiving, and you wear a harness that attaches to the instructor's equipment at 4 points: (2 shoulder connectors & 2 hip connectors). You are very secure! The airplane ride to 10,000 ft or 12,500 ft is 10-20 minutes (depending on airplane used), then you freefall out of the plane for an amazing 35 - 50 seconds before the instructor opens the main parachute. To finish your skydive experience, you help fly the parachute back to the landing area. The Tandem skydive requires a time commitment of 3-4 hours. For prices, please contact our office.
Your cameraman will start your video with a pre-jump interview followed by some of your gear-up. He'll meet you at the plane for some in-flight footage, climbs out of the plane with your tandem pair & leaves the plane with you to record some of the exit, the freefall and parachute opening. The cameraman will get down to the landing area and record your landing and post jump comments, then edits it all to music on to a DVD. Please book video when you make your skydive reservation to confirm cameraman availability.
Please note: Video is only available on a one-on-one basis as the cameraman can only skydive with one tandem pair. If you are skydiving with a group our big plane can take up to 5 tandem pairs and 4 camerman on the same load.
