Our maximum solo skydiving training class size is six students and is limited to skydiving students with prior jump experience. This assures you personalized attention, so reserve your spot as early as possible. A minimum of one week prior notice is usually required. Call 1-888-654-PLAY to reserve your spot (even if it is shorter notice and if the class is not full, we may be able to accommodate you).
We give first priority to the students from the solo skydiving training class by reserving the 9 am time slot the next day for your Skills Evaluation Tandem Skydive, so that you have time to make your first solo jump that same day. Plan to spend the entire day with us. If the weather cooperates, it could be less.
Because the solo skydiving training class is so very intensive, we need you to be alert, aware, and able to concentrate, so please:
Get a good night's sleep the night before.
Eat prior to the start of class, (there are NO breaks)
BE ON TIME!
Also,
Wear long pants; sneakers (no boots);
NO jewelry (rings are especially hazardous to your fingers on solo jumps);
If you have a pair of baseball or golf gloves bring them;
If it is cool out, bring a sweatshirt, thermals, and either a turtleneck or a neck gator (remember it is generally at least 10 degrees colder here then where you live.).
Check the Adventure Packages page for a list of camping, hotels, and activities in the area.
NO alcoholic beverages should be consumed prior to class and is against all state and federal laws during skydiving activities.
