If you enjoy the excitement of a roller coaster ride, you will love skydiving! The quiet solitude of a canopy ride, may just be the ticket for you. At SKYDIVE ERIE  we offer 2 ways to enjoy this rapidly growing sport at a price that will pleasantly surprise you. Listed below are the different methods we offer. Your choice – after all – it’s your time, thrill and money – it should be your choice! After your first jump you will receive a frame-ready first jump certificate, and a skydiving logbook to record jumps. Caution: Parachuting/Skydiving is not to be confused with an amusement park ride. There’s training and performance skills needed to participate.

Classes are held Saturdays and Sundays regardless of weather conditions. Weather permitting after completed class; you will make your first jump. Rain date coupons are given in case you do not make your jump that same day. Classes are by appointment only. A $50.00 deposit is required for classroom space. We recommend a two-week notice to reserve classroom space by emailing or mailing the completed registration form.

1. Go Tandem
Try skydiving for the first time and experience the art of freefall for yourself. Hooked to the instructor, this option gives you the feeling of security while getting the rush at the same time. After about a 45 second freefall, glide gently to the ground under a parachute built for two.
               Tandem Jump Course on a parachute built for two is one of the easiest ways to experience skydiving. The rider and an experienced licensed tandem master wearing a specially designed harness that holds two people safely together will exit the airplane at 9,500 feet, both freefalling 35 seconds through space until the parachute opens at 4,500 feet. The rider experiences a gentle descent while the tandem master and rider will bring the parachute to a precise landing. The pre-jump instruction takes only about 45 minutes for the experience of a lifetime.  ($190.00)
Offered Saturday or Sundays by appointment.

2. Static Line

This option is for the serious adrenaline junkies. In a 4-5 hour class you will learn all the essentials to make your first skydive SOLO!! After exiting the aircraft, you will be guided to the ground by radio instruction . This method allows you the opportunity to continue learning the sport of skydiving by building on your initial training with each jump.
           Traditional Static Line (S/L) Jump Course starting at 9:30 a.m. begins by introducing you to the sport. We teach you parachute safety, and how the equipment works. The classes continue by learning how to get in and out of the airplane, controlling the parachute and how to land safely. After about 4 –5 hours, equipment will be provided for your first jump (weather permitting). An experienced jumpmaster will bring you up to 3,500’ and help you exit the airplane. The parachute will open automatically in 2 to 3 seconds by the use of a static line. Once open, a ground controller will be in constant contact by radio with you throughout your jump until you are safely on the ground.  ($160.00). Offered Saturday or Sunday mornings.
