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.

    What a great experience! This was my first time skydiving and I would most definitely do it again at Skydive the Wasatch. All of the employees were professional and very friendly. Thanks for the great jump and I will totally be reaching out again in the future. A must do bucket list for everyone.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Leon and Adam were great. They were funny and personable. The experience was unforgettable. Nephi is great. Quiet airspace, beautiful scenery. While climbing to jump altitude, they took us along the mountain bench. The view was great. They did a good job explaining what to expect. The plane was solid. Highly recommend the experience.
