First Time Skydiving

If you know jumping out of a plane is for you and you’ve never done it before, then a first time tandem skydive is a great place to start skydiving Atlanta immediately! Tandem skydiving is our most popular skydiving opportunity that allows guests from 18 to 80 (and in some cases beyond that!) to experience 60 seconds of freefall exiting at an altitude of 14,000 feet. You will share a tandem skydiving harness with one of our professional instructors who will show you why birds fly! At approximately 5,500 feet your instructor will deploy the main parachute allowing you to take in the surrounding views while skydiving Atlanta with approximately five minutes of peaceful flying. Are you ready to skydive Atlanta? Explore here for additional skydiving prices or book online.

• You should plan to spend a half-day at the DZ for your first tandem skydive.
• Please plan to wear comfortable, season-appropriate clothing and athletic shoes (no open toes).
• You will be asked to wear a jumpsuit and headgear to protect your clothes from wear and tear.
• We’re looking forward to skydiving Atlanta with YOU!

The weight limit for tandem skydiving here at Skydive Monroe is 225lbs for men and 170lbs* for women, including clothing and shoes, to be measured on an official scale at check-in. Please don’t take offense: the weight restrictions for skydiving at Skydive Monroe haven’t been set because of any kind of prejudice. They’ve been set because the simple physics of our equipment demands it, and our dropzone is absolutely dedicated to safety.
