TANDEM SKYDIVING // the most popular way to make your first jump!

Tandem skydiving is the quickest and easiest way to introduce yourself to the exciting world of freefall skydiving! After a safety briefing, you will be partnered with one of our experienced instructors. During the 20 minute ride to altitude, enjoy the breath-taking views of the St. John's River and Florida's East Coast.

Before leaving the airplane, you will be securely attached to your instructor and ready to experience the rush of freefall from 13500 feet! After your 60 second of 120+ mph freefall, the parachute will open and you can easily talk with your instructor. Be as actively involved with your canopy flight as you wish. Your instructor will take over the controls to ensure a smooth landing.

I’ve been lucky enough to jump twice with Skydive Palatka! Art and his team took every precaution to make sure we were safe and enjoyed the experience! Looking forward to jumping again with them in the future!

Tandem dove today with Angelo and he was awesome!! Coolest experience ever!

-Siara Brennan

Went skydiving with Skydiving Palatka and WOW! The tandem jump was exhilarating, the views were stunning, and the camera guy was charming (almost as charming as my landing face). Seriously though, the whole team was super friendly and fun! Can't wait to jump again!

-Dmitrii Mikhailov

Absolutely incredible experience, awesome staff, and something I'll never forget. I thought I would only skydive once but I can't wait to go back! 11/10 for these guys

- Alex Shaw

My first jump at Skydive Palatka was beyond amazing! Everyone was so much fun to jump and work with. I was very nervous but as soon as we entered the plane it all went away with these guys!! I even purchased my second jump before leaving. Highly recommend them for tandem jumping!
