Where is this place?

25001 S Kasson Road, Tracy Their wobsite is at http://skydivecal.com

What do I need to bring?

You should wear closed toed shoes, and wear something that you believe will survive freefall. Layers are a good choice so you can make the call as we go, but it's pretty warm rn so you're unlikely to be cold.

You'll need to bring your ID

Can I wear glasses/contacts?

Yes, but tell your instructor before hand.

How much will it cost?

A tandem jump from 13k will cost you $185. It's common to tip your tandem instructor $20

If you want a camera flier to come with and get video and stills for you, it's $120, but read below!

Can I jump with you?

Kinda! I don't have my tandem instructors rating, but I can go with a tandem in freefall.

I'll cover my own slot and fly with you, which will be pretty neat. If I'm on your jump, I'll also film it and let you have the video for nothing. This does mean that you're effectively undercutting the video fliers at the dropzone though, so please be polite. If you commit to getting video, don't be all like "oh actually my buddy richo can do it for free" later.

How long will it take?

All said and done, getting you briefed, gearing you up, on the plane, up to altitude and back down will probably take an hour, but it's best to allow about 4 hours total, although we'll almost certainly come in under that.
