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 don't think my experience skydiving could have been any better! The staff was so friendly and helped me feel at ease throughout the whole process. They made me laugh and gave some pretty good pep talks, too! I will definitely be going back!Also, buy the video! It seems a little pricey but it is so worth it! I have already watched mine 50 times!

    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!

    Outstanding experience with Skydive the Wasatch. The check in was easy. The pre-jump instruction was spot-on. The Tandem Instructors were very experienced. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

    I went here for my first ever jump and they were incredible the entire time. I was comfortable and they made sure to communicate exactly what was going to happen the whole time it was one of the most amazing experiences ever. 10/10. Plus I bought the pictures and video package and they did an incredible job with that.

    The experience was awesome. It was our 2nd time going. And it just gets better everytime we go. The people were great and very accommodating. The experience of the jump was epic. Being able to stand out on the wing and feel the air was amazing. That was the best. I highly recommend checking out Wasatch. It was an amazing time. Definitely planning a third. Thank you guys it was Awesome.
