What's Included in Your $283 Tandem Skydive?
The $283 covers your tandem skydive from the briefing on the ground through landing with your instructor. We'll explain what to expect before you get on the plane.
- Pre-jump paperwork and a briefing that walks you through what to do at each stage, from leaving the aircraft to landing
- A rated tandem instructor who stays connected to you throughout your jump
- A complete tandem parachute system and passenger harness, plus the other equipment you’ll need
- A ride to jump altitude in a Cessna 182
- Up to about 40 seconds of freefall
- A guided parachute ride with mountain views, followed by landing with your instructor
Your appointment time is when we start check-in and preparation. Takeoff comes later and isn’t guaranteed for a specific time. Weather and the day’s flight schedule can change how quickly we’re able to get in the air.
How to Compare Tandem Skydiving Prices
When you’re comparing prices, ask what’s included from check-in through landing. Your instructor’s time starts with your briefing and continues through the jump. The aircraft and specialized equipment are part of that price too, along with the team getting everything ready on the ground.
With us, $283 covers your tandem skydive. Your $80 deposit goes toward that total, so you’ll have $203 left to pay when you arrive. Photos and video are optional, and you can choose the package that works for you.
Start with the experience you’d like to have. Ask about the aircraft and how high you’ll jump. Take a moment to learn about the instructors’ experience and how the equipment is cared for, too.
Before you book, check the booking policies and photo options. Think about the location and what the day will be like for anyone coming along to watch. Those details can help you decide where you’d feel comfortable spending the day.
What Makes the Cost of a Skydive Go Up or Down?
Skydiving has a lot going on behind the scenes, and that shows up in the price. Each jump involves an aircraft, fuel, a pilot, an instructor, parachute packing, equipment maintenance, and the time it takes to prepare everything for the next load.
Your final total can also change depending on what you add. Photo and video packages cost extra, and some jumpers may have weight-related charges. Promotions or group rates can lower the price when they’re available.
What Sets Skydive Colorado Springs Apart?
At $283, you’re not just comparing a number. You’re choosing the people and operation behind the jump. Our team brings decades in the sport and tens of thousands of combined jumps. We also have FAA-certified Senior and Master Riggers on the team, bringing specialized knowledge to the equipment side of the operation.
Our veteran-owned drop zone operates up to four Cessna 182s from Fremont County Airport in Penrose, with Pikes Peak and the Sangre de Cristo Range around you. We take a proactive approach to equipment maintenance, and we care about making your first jump feel personal. For us, that’s what gives the $283 tandem price its value.
Is a Tandem Skydive Really Worth the Price?
Yes, and a big part of that value is the time and care that go into your jump. You get to experience freefall with an instructor guiding you, followed by a parachute ride with Colorado’s mountains in view. We still remember our own first jumps. Sharing that moment with someone new is why we love doing this.
Take your time comparing the experience and booking policies. A price alone won’t tell you whether a drop zone is right for you. Questions before you decide? We’d be happy to talk them through with you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are photos and video included in the tandem price?
No, photos and video are optional and cost extra. Your $283 covers the tandem jump. Photo Only is $119, and Photo & Video is $134. The Ultimate Photo/Video package costs $215 and adds another skydiver to film your jump. Call us ahead of time to arrange the Ultimate package, since it depends on a video flyer’s availability.
How do the deposit and refunds work?
Your $80 deposit goes toward the $283 total, leaving $203 to pay when you arrive. The deposit is nonrefundable, with no exceptions, and all sales are final. That also applies if you decide not to jump or choose not to sign the waiver.
What happens if weather prevents us from jumping?
If we cancel jumping because of the weather, we’ll reschedule your appointment or issue a raincheck. There’s no extra rescheduling charge for a weather cancellation. Your $80 deposit remains nonrefundable.
Can I reschedule my appointment?
Yes, you can reschedule your appointment once. Please make the change at least 24 hours before your scheduled arrival time. Changes within 24 hours cost $25 per jumper. That fee doesn’t apply when we reschedule because of the weather.
