Jumping out of a plane was considered dangerous until humans invented parachutes and the lead flight suit went out of style. Take a carefree plunge with this Groupon.
Choose from Four Options
- $99 for a tandem skydive from up to 9,000 feet for one (a $200 value)
- $129 for a tandem skydive from up to 13,000 feet for one (a $259 value)
- $198 for a tandem skydive from up to 9,000 feet for two (a $400 value)
- $258 for a tandem skydive from up to 13,000 feet for two (a $518 value)
USPA-rated instructors teach the basics of skydiving physics and techniques during a 20- to 30-minute ground-school lesson. They then fit participants with a jump suit and a harness, and explain the basics of the free-fall body position. During the flight to 13,000 feet, instructors field questions about skydiving mechanics, the history of the sport, and the best shoes for air walking. Once the plane reaches jumping altitude, instructors and students strap into Sigma tandem-diving rigs, plunge from the plane's open door, and reach speeds up to 120 miles per hour. Instructors pull the parachute cord and work with students to control it on the slow canopy flight to the ground. Groupon users also receive 10% off video packages and can apply their time toward a skydiving license.
