Tandem Skydive The tandem skydive is the most popular choice for first time jumpers in the New Orleans area. Requiring only ten minutes of instruction, the student can experience the thrill of free fall with relative ease. The student is attached to an instructor with a special harness. They both exit the aircraft together and descend under one parachute. During the entire skydive, the instructor is safely guiding the student. Appointment highly recommended. Minimum Age: 18. PHOTO ID REQUIRED! See Pricing Frequently Asked Questions Do I have to be physically fit to learn to skydive? Skydiving is not a physically demanding sport, however you must be in good health.
