Tandem skydiving is an exhilarating, easy, low stress way to make your first jump and is the most widely used method of skydiving across the United States. Our tandem training method involves you being harnessed to one of our highly trained and skilled tandem instructors rated by United Parachute Technologies as well as the United States Parachute Association.

To book your tandem skydive today call us at (937) 372-0700 or come on down to our dropzone located at 177 S. Monroe Siding Rd in Xenia, Ohio (click here for directions). We  welcome walkin in's at S.G.C. and will work  to fit you onto our schedule so you can make a skydive with us.  No deposits are ever required at SGC, we just ask for a courtesy call if you cannot keep your scheduled appointment.
 
After filling out paperwork and watching a short video you will be ready to make your skydive. Somewhere around 9,000 (or higher depending on aircraft) you will be harnessed to your tandem instructor, the door will open and you exit the plane.

Your freefall with your instructor will last for approximately 40-60 seconds. We can almost guarantee this will be the most exciting minute of your life as you reach speeds of around 120 mph as you fall for nearly two miles back to Earth!

When you reach opening altitude, your instructor will deploy your parachute made for two and you will glide you back to the landing area taking in the beautiful sites along the way.

Also, you can capture on film, the spectacular skydive you just made by having one of our great camera flyers film your adventure. Our camera flyers will put together a 7-12 minute professionally edited video of your jump. Our videos include pre- and post- jump interviews, the ride to altitude, of course your freefall, and landing. Many of our camera flyers have had their pictures featured in national magazines such as Parachutist and Skydiving Magazine!

If you have additional questions, please call us at (937) 372-0700 or visit our Frequently Asked Questions Page!

Once you have made your tandem you move on to our Static Line Program. Check out our First jump Rates below, and don't forget to have a video taken of your skydive to show all those that didn’t think you would jump from a perfectly good airplane!
