Skydive Brentwood

There are three types of first-time jump courses from which a novice can choose from: tandem, static-line and harness-hold. People use to call harness-hold jumps accelerated free fall (AFF) jumps in the United States. Despite the perception of danger, fatalities are rare in skydiving, each year a small number of people are hurt or killed parachuting world-wide. Although most first time skydivers start with Tandem first jumps, our skydiving instructors will help you learn to skydive whether you start with tandem skydiving or AFF. After watching a short video you will be trained by your Tandem Master instructor to make your first skydive. Parachuting has complex skills that can take thousands of jumps to master, but the basics are often fully understood and useful during the first few jumps. The tandem freefall skydive is with the safety of an experienced instructor in a harness built especially for two! The common parachute has three main parts: the main canopy, the reserve canopy and the harness-container system. Most tandems enjoy freefall for 30 to 50 seconds, depending on jump altitude, typically 10,000 to 13,000 feet.
