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.

Great place to experience a first jump and a growing skydiving center. Amazing views of the Wasatch mountains and MT Nebo. Get out and experience a Cessna skydive in the heart of Utah. Well maintained equipment and the feel of a farmland dropzone.

I absolutely love this dropzone! I came here last week for a tandem to get rid of some jitters before I go back into finishing my A license. I can't say enough good things about the team here. Everyone is so welcoming, thorough, respectful, and they keep safety as the #1 priority. I can't wait to finish out my training here.I'd highly recommend anyone to check out Skydive the Wasatch whether for a tandem or to learn how to jump solo!

The entire staff goes above and beyond to to ensure a fun and safe experience! My skydive was postponed multiple times due to weather, but they were so helpful and accommodating in the process of rescheduling and getting me up in the air. Every one of the staff members are kind and fun loving people that just want to help you have a great experience. I live two hours from Nephi, but I’ll go there over another skydiving establishment any day. Nothing but praise for Skydiving the Wasatch!

They have a great team that treats you like long time friends/family. The cost is much lower then the experience you receive. They're professional and make you feel safe.

I'm 6'4" 230lbs and they where able to take me without any problems. I was a little put off about the extra fee for me being heavy but after my first jump, I'm happy to pay it.

The instructions on how you'll exit the plane are a little like squirt from finding Nemo and if they animated their instructions a little, then it would be a lot like Squirt!

What a great group people to share this experience with! Skydiving can be a nerve wracking experience to begin with but meeting the incredible people who work here instantly put our concerns at ease. My girl had a great jump for her 18th birthday and it was all because of these experienced and talented people. The location is also so much more beautiful then jumping in SL. I highly recommend making the drive to Nephi and jumping with Skydive the Wasatch!

My mother-in-law has had a dream of skydiving for years and years. Despite her poor physical health, she was determined. Leon was amazing and did everything in his power to ensure a PERFECT landing. It was so awesome! She hasn't stopped talking about it since!

The most blissful and freeing experience of my entire life! This has been on my best friend and I bucket list since we were 10 and we finally got to go at only 18 and 19! Our instructors were amazing, they made us feel comfortable and like we were prioritized. I will definitely be back next year! Props to Matt!
