Frequently Asked Questions for Tandem Skydiving Over the Poconos Mountains

Question 1

Can I take my camera in my skydive?

Accepted Answer

When you make a tandem skydive, you are considered a student skydiver. Per the rules of the United States Parachute Association, student skydivers cannot jump with any kind of video or photography equipment. For the safety of you and your instructor, unlicensed skydivers will not be permitted to bring along a camera, even a small format sports camera.
Your instructor or videographer may use these tools to record your jump for you. Be assured that these are professional skydivers trained to use these cameras while also maintaining the proper safety procedures during a skydive.

Question 2

Do I need prior experience to skydive?

Accepted Answer

You don't need experience; your instructor has all the experience you need to enjoy skydiving. But you'll need to be able to do two different positions, arch your body in freefall and lift your legs for landing, don't worry, it's not that complicated; we have been taking people over 105 years old.

Question 3

Can I bring my friends/family with me?

Accepted Answer

We have an area for friends and family to wait while you complete your skydive. We also have an outdoor viewing deck from where they can watch skydivers land.
Children under the age of 15 years are not allowed to be left unsupervised at any point in time. If both parents are booked in for a skydive, they must take turns to stay with the child/children while the other person goes for their tandem. They must notify our staff about this when they check in for their skydive.

Question 4

What happen if I get weather out?

Accepted Answer

Speed winds, poor visibility, rain, or low clouds are just some of the reasons that can delay or even cancel our skydiving operations.

In case of bad weather, our team will announce a “standby”, which means we have to put our operations on hold. Regular announcements will be made updating you on the conditions while you wait at our location. If the weather shows no signs of improving, we have to cancel operations and reschedule for the next available date.

Question 5

What do I wear for my Skydive?

Accepted Answer

Please dress suitably and comfortably for your skydive and be respectful of the local culture and sentiments.

Athletic, comfortable clothes are advised. T-shirts/tops with sleeves and shorts that cover the thigh area are recommended so that the harness fits comfortably. Cold weather is not a problem, but if that's the case, make sure you bring some extra layers and gloves. Collared shirts should be avoided. (Flapping collars during freefall can be unpleasant.) Avoid wearing white or light-colored shorts or pants that may get dirty. Laced-up sneakers or sports shoes are ideal for your skydive. Please make sure your shoes don't have any buckles or studs on them.
Not allowed: Swimwear.
Not allowed: Sandals, boots, open-toe, or heeled/platform shoes of any type.
Customers are advised to remove any precious jewelry, watches, and/or other accessories before their skydive. These can be placed in the free personal lockers at our locations. Every customer will be given protective eye goggles to wear during their skydive. So, if you need to wear prescription glasses or lenses during your skydive, please do so. You don't want to miss that view!

Question 6

Is there a weight limit to skydive?

Accepted Answer

Your Safety and experience are our top priorities; for that reason, any jumper over 220 lbs will need to be evaluated by an Instructor to ensure the appropriate fit of the harness.
Our weight limit for students is 265 lbs under approve of the instructor.
Every passenger has to pay an extra fee when the weight is over 200 lbs. If this is your case, please call the office to make sure the harness will fit you right based on the weight distribution in your body.

Question 7

Is there an age requirement to Jump?

Accepted Answer

The minimum skydiving age limit is 18, and there is no maximum age limit for skydiving.

Question 8

Should I tip my instructor or videographer?

Accepted Answer

Tipping is neither required nor expected – but it's always appreciated if you had a great time.

Question 9

Is my deposit refundable?

Accepted Answer

All reservations are instant and non-refundable. If you cannot jump on your reserved date, please let us know within 48 hours of anticipation. While we cannot refund your deposit, we can offer you to reschedule your jump within 1 year with no penalty or transfer your deposit to another jumper under special circumstances. This is a weather-dependent sport, and sometimes we do need to reschedule due to weather conditions.

Question 10

How do I receive my video and how long does it take to receive?

Accepted Answer

You can expect your pictures and video by the end (8-9 pm) of the day that you jumped, but in most cases, you receive them within 1-4 hours of your jump. If you don't receive your video by the night of your jump, please contact us to send you the delivery link; we can even text it to you!

Question 11

How long will my skydive experience take and when should I arrive?

Accepted Answer

Please arrive at your reservation time unless we call you to adjust your arrival time.
From your reservation time, you can expect to jump and complete the entire experience in most cases in under 1 hour; however, we do ask that you don't plan your day too tightly and plan to spend up to 4 hours with us in case of weather delays or similar. This extreme is HIGHLY unusual, but we would like for you to be prepared! Safety is our top priority!

Question 12

Do I need prior experience to skydive?

Accepted Answer

You don't need experience; your instructor has all the experience you need to enjoy skydiving. But you'll need to be able to do two different positions, arch your body in freefall and lift your legs for landing, don't worry, it's not that complicated, we have been taking people over 105 years old.
