Description
If jumping out of an airplane has been on your bucket list, Skydive Saskatoon offers an exhilarating way to make that dream come true with their Skydiving experience. With a team of experienced instructors and tandem masters, each with thousands of jumps under their belts, participants are in very good hands.
Tandem Skydive
A tandem skydive allows thrill-seekers to experience the rush of skydiving while securely harnessed to a professional instructor. This option is perfect for those who want to enjoy the excitement of free-falling from 11,000 feet without the responsibility of jumping solo. After arriving at the dropzone, participants will watch a brief video, fill out some paperwork, and then be paired with a tandem master who will guide them through the entire experience. From the moment the plane takes off to the exhilarating free fall and safe landing, the instructor ensures a memorable and safe adventure.
Solo First Jump Course
For those looking to take their skydiving experience to the next level, the Solo First Jump Course is the perfect choice. This comprehensive course, approximately five hours long, teaches participants everything they need to know to safely skydive solo. The training includes ground school instruction, equipment familiarization, and jump procedures. After completing the course, participants will make their first solo jump from 4,000 feet, with instructors guiding them every step of the way. This option is ideal for those who plan to skydive more than once or wish to jump independently in the future.
Reasons to Skydive
Skydiving offers a unique blend of thrills and benefits. Screaming during free fall has health benefits, such as stress relief and improved breathing. The inability to stop smiling is a well-known side effect, often lasting a lifetime. Most importantly, skydiving creates unforgettable memories, expanding horizons and offering a sense of accomplishment.

All instructors hold expert skydiving licenses and are certified as tandem masters by the equipment manufacturer. The plane, maintained to commercial standards and regulated by Transport Canada, is flown by licensed commercial pilots.
