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 got this as a gift 3 months ago. Have been worried/scared/freaked out since. Finally made the appointment and fretted another month. The day came and I had emotions I’ve never felt before.
    They are such professionals who really knew what they were doing. I’m still ‘high’ on a very incredible experience.
    Thanks to a great staff - a great life changing day - and a great video and pictures to remember/relive it all. This is an awesome company. Dorel Kynaston

    Skydive the Wasatch is the place I learned how to fly. They showed me everything I needed to know to become the jumper I am. The staff are amazing and the view is unbeatable. Thank you all so much for all you shared. Can't wait for April to get here.

    The crew had a good vibe and I felt safe and confident in my tandem jumpguy Paul and the pilot. They were all friendly and personable and very pleasant. Leon gave clear instructions that were easy to remember and follow and I felt like I was safe and in competent hands for my first jump. The views were spectacular and if I get the chance will be glad to jump with them again.

    I had my first jump today, It was not short of amazing. The instructor Jordan was very knowledgeable and the Jump went without a problem. There was never any pressure or anything like that.

    I highly suggest just going for the 10.5 k ft jump since you will wish you went higher if you only fly up to 8k.

    Stop thinking about going skydiving and GO!

    The staff were all super friendly and professional, but also chill so you could relax a bit. The jump itself doesnt compare to anything else. Scott was a great instructor and id jump with him anyday. Its a highlight of my life and im sure ill be going back.

    Went with the whole family. Even grandma and grandpa in their 80's! The crew here is awesome. They made the day an experience we will always remember. They explained everything clearly, were fun to be around, and helped everyone feel safe and comfortable. We had a blast. This is the place to go.

    Truly one of the best experiences!

    Ethan and Leon were fantastic instructors. The staff makes you feel comfortable and gets you excited for the jump! Super positive atmosphere!
