Tandem Skydiving
Tandem jumping has been around since the early 80's. It is about the EASIEST way to do that "First Jump". With the training, preparation, aircraft ride, jump, and video dubbing, you should plan on being here for about 1/2 a day. Usually, we will have you on your way home in 2-3 hours.
Pre-jump training
Your 15 minutes of pre-jump training includes information about the gear you will use, aircraft and exit procedures, freefall body position and altitude awareness, canopy control and landing techniques.
Jump Out
Wearing a harness connected directly to the Tandem parachute system and your instructor, you will jump together and accelerate to 120MPH (200Kph), freefalling for about 60 seconds. At about 5000', we will open the parachute, and then you will assist the instructor in steering the parachute during the 4-6 minute descent. During that time you will get to steer the parachute, and practice landings and then land on the dropzone with your video person waiting to film it all.
Re-live the experience
A freefall Videographer can capture your experience, filming the skydive and landing, as well as the 'candid' interviews, special effects and music - producing an 3 to 4-minute professional production. In addition to several high resolution digital photos of your skydive.

J Z. – Seattle WA
First time I went sky diving I came to Kapowsin. Had a great overall experience and at a pretty decent price. Quick, safe and will definitely be back for more jumps!
Awa – Seattle WA
This was the highlight of my summer! I went with two other friends and even though we were so excited, our nerves were just as high. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming!
Vincent C. – DuPont WA
For being my first time skydiving, the instructors made it easy. They are very professional and keep it relaxed in an already tense situation for most newcomers.
Maili D. – Seattle WA
My friends and I went and had SUCH a great time! Making a reservation was super easy, and the staff was very nice and accommodating.

You will progress to more advance maneuvers such as solo exits and front and back loops.
Ground Course + Level 1 | $300 |
Levels 2 - 7 | $195 (each) |
