(CSPA), to ensure we are providing the best possible instruction
available. All of our instructors have earned CSPA "Instructor"
ratings for the program they are teaching, plus a Coach
One or Two rating from the Coaching Association of Canada.
Expect the BEST, when you choose to make your First
Skydive with Alberta Skydivers Ltd!

| Your
Tandem Skydive starts with 1/2 hour of ground preparation.
The instructor wears special equipment built to take
2 people skydiving, and you wear a harness that attaches
to the instructor's equipment at 4 points: (2 shoulder
connectors & 2 hip connectors). You are very secure!
The airplane ride to 9,500 ft is approx. 20 minutes,
then you freefall out of the plane for an amazing 30
seconds before the instructor opens the main parachute.
To finish your skydive experience, you help fly the
parachute back to the landing area. The Tandem skydive
requires a time commitment of 3-4 hours on weekends.
You
can make your tandem skydive 2 or 3 tandems per flight
depending on instructor availability.
For prices please phone or email our office. |

This
type of First Jump is designed for the person who wants
to "take charge" of their skydive.
The First Jump Solo course starts with a 5 hour ground
school. After the on-ground practice, you will get "geared-up"
in our state-of-the-art student equipment and you and
your instructor will fly to 3,000 ft. You will climb
out of the plane and hang off the strut, watching the
instructor for the "Go!". As you let go of
the airplane, the instructor initiates your main parachute
opening (this is called "Instructor Assisted Deployment"
- IAD). It takes about 3 seconds for your parachute
to open - talk about adrenaline rush! After opening,
the on-ground instructor will talk to you via a one-way
radio, giving instruction to help you fly and land your
parachute! The Solo course requires
a 09:00am - 5:00 pm time commitment.
Please note: The Solo
course requires decision making in a high stress situation.

prices please phone or email our office. |
