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.

Me and a friend went to celebrate us graduating from nursing school. We had SO much fun and both commented on how safe we felt during the entire experience. They were very professional and we didn't wait long to get into the plane! Literally thought about the skydive for a week after it was so great.

What an amazing experience. So very happy I came here! These guys made the whole visit so much fun. I really appreciated the dry humor. If you’re contemplating- I’m here to tell you, just do the damn thing.

ABSOLUTELY EXHILARATING! Make the trip to Juab County. Leon and the Crew down in Nephi are fantastic. Leon punched my "jump card" if you will... Leon will show you a great time and leave you satisfied and smiling. You never forget your first time. So let your first time be the breath taking views of the peaks of Mt Nebo, and the sand dunes of little sahara out to the West.

Awesome experience, great staff & most importantly they made us feel safe and comfortable from the second we entered their hanger to when we’d landed back on the ground. This crew is top notch from their parachute packing professionals to the expert divers who tandem jump with you.

AWESOME dropzone! The owner and staff are professional, yet super fun to be around. The plane ride up is breathtaking and the instructors calm your nerves by telling jokes, singing, and giving you a freezepop (my favorite part).

This place knows what they are doing! Stop reading this review and go skydiving now 🙂

Incredible!! This was my second time skydiving and this one was my favorite. The staff were friendly, and they made the jump fun and memorable. You can’t beat the views that Skydive Wasatch has. If you are thinking about going, do it! You won’t regret it.

My dad and I jumped for our first time at skydive the Wasatch! We had an awesome time and definitely going to go back for more! Our instructors Matt and Austin did an awesome job making us feel safe and communicating with us how the jump was going to go! The whole crew was welcoming and just as excited as we were! The view was epic and the whole experience was 101/100. Definitely recommend this place whether it is your first jump or 10th, they're awesome! 🪂
