Skydive the Wasatch IAD Program

Time to kick off your tandem training wheels? Our IAD (Instructor Assisted Deployment) Program is designed to put you on the fast-track to being able to skydive solo. 

USPA issues four skydiving licenses, A through D, indicating progressive levels of skill and accomplishment. A skydiver is considered a student until issued a license.

In this Instructor Assisted Deployment course (IAD), your USPA Licensed instructor will guide you through ground training and training/solo jumps to help you achieve your A-License.

Your progression will move from the instructor being responsible for deployment, to solo deployment, to freefall and subsequent solo deployment. One of the primary allures of the IAD system is that it is a less expensive entry method into solo skydiving than a similar AFF program would be.

    I went into this skydive as 'a one and done', but that has since changed! This was the most AMAZING experience of my life! I can not recommend Skydive the Wasatch enough. From start to finish, the day was perfect, the entire team there is fantastic! Their location is great! The views from above are absolutely beautiful. I'm looking forward to my next jump at Skydive the Wasatch!

    First time sky diving and from start to finish i can't imagine a better experience. Dan walked us through the paper work and our instructors were extremely confident and reassuring. Chris was my skydiving buddy and he was completely professional and fun. I have nothing but good things to say and would recommend anyone to drop out of a plane here.

    This was super sick. You've gotta jump sometime. And Leon and Reuben were the best tandem guides ever! Will definitely be going back and doing this again.

    Skydive the Wasatch is an incredible experience company. They made everyone feel welcome and part of the family. The hangar was comfortable for the watchers in the party. The gear was of the highest standard. It was a great experience for everyone. And we loved the videos at the end. Totally worth the upgrade.

    The instructors were awesome! The price was reasonable, the location was perfect! The view of the mountains were amazing! The place had drinks and snacks while you were waiting. My son turned 18 and it was the best birthday gift for him! He had a blast! We had a video made and it was totally worth it! Yes I will go again and again again!

    Took my family of six here for my 50th birthday. Exceeded all expectations! We had a blast. The staff and our tandem coaches were just awesome. If you’re remotely considering going tandem skydiving, just do it. And with this group. You won’t regret it!
