About Tandem Skydiving
First and foremost, you won’t be in this alone. To skydive for the first time, you must be with a tandem skydiving instructor. That means that you won’t actually be the one doing the work. It’s the job of the tandem instructor to keep you stable in the air, pull the parachute at the right altitude, and steer you back for a safe landing.
If you’re looking to skydive solo our IAD (Instructor Aided Deployment) program is your next step. This program is designed to get you certified to skydive by yourself. Even these programs, however, must begin with a tandem skydive.
Age & Weight Requirements for your First Skydive
The first step to a successful skydive is to make sure that you can skydive in the first place! Almost anyone can skydive, but there are a few requirements that exist for the safety of both the student and the instructor.
You must be at least 18 and weigh under 230lbs to skydive at Skydive the Wasatch.
For the safety of both the instructor and the student, we require that all skydivers must be at least 18 years of age and weigh less than 230lbs. Passengers over 200 lbs will be evaluated on a case by case basis. We require a valid, government issued photo ID to prove your age.
Pricing Options & Visual Packages
The experience of a lifetime, we’ll take you to 13,000 feet over the beautiful Wasatch front. Your experienced USPA-rated and FAA certified tandem instructor will be there to guide you through the entire experience as you plummet through the air at 120 MPH, then take in the jaw-dropping scenery of the Rocky Mountains.

| Ultimate Adventurer Skydiving Experience Take your skydiving adventure to new heights with this one-of-a-kind upgraded experience! You’ll still be paired with one of our incredibly talented and charismatic tandem instructors, but you’ll become a much more active participant in your skydive than with a normal tandem jump. In addition to the standard pre-jump briefing, you’ll learn essential skydiving techniques, get a hands-on introduction to your equipment, and get to experience the exhilaration of deploying the parachute yourself under the guidance of your instructor. You’ll also be able to take the reins and steer the parachute yourself back to the dropzone while surrounded by breathtaking views. Plus, take home a souvenir Skydive the Wasatch T-Shirt as a memento of your adventure! | 409 |
