Tandem Skydiving in Columbus

Columbus Skydiving highly recommends this method for your first skydive. Tandem skydives require the least amount of training (usually less than an hour), and maintain the highest degree of safety. Your instructor will be with you through the entire skydive and parachute ride back down to the Columbus soil safe and sound. Your jump will include approximately 60 seconds of freefall from 10,000 to 14,000 feet above Ohio, followed by a canopy ride that lasts anywhere from 7 to 9 minutes. Should you request it, you may also assist in steering the parachute.

Accelerated Free Fall Skydiving in Columbus

Accelerated Free Fall (AFF) is the most advanced method of training to become certified to skydive on your own in Columbus. 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 dropzone.
