Description
Ever wondered what it would be like to dive into the open skies and fly? Well, this is it - Skydiving in Las Vegas!
While you enjoy beautiful views of Mount Charleston, Red Rock Canyon and the Las Vegas Strip, the pilot will be guiding the plane to our jump altitude over 2 miles above the Earth.
Imagine the door opening, the wind hitting your face and seconds later you're free falling toward Earth. Experience the thrill of tandem skydiving. Feel the air rush in your face as you jump out of the plane and freefall through the air at 120 mph.
You get to pull the ripcord with the help of a master parachutist, who will guide your parachute down to a safe landing!
No experience is necessary and you are ready to jump after 20 minutes of instruction. Your first jump is tandem, which means you will be attached to one of our professional certified jump instructors.
Freefall for about 60 seconds, and then pull the ripcord for a gentle 5 to 7-minute float back to Earth underneath the canopy of your parachute.
All skydivers must be at least 18 years old with valid picture ID, weigh less than 240 lbs (108 kg), must be height/weight proportionate (some restrictions may apply) and in good physical health. We can also usually accommodate people with some disabilities but please call for information.
Complimentary transportation is available for skydivers only. Spectators are allowed, but must make their own way to the Jean Aviation Center.
Jean Sport Aviation Center is located in Jean, Nevada just 20 miles south of Las Vegas on Interstate 15, Exit #12.
What is Tandem Jumping?
You are directly attached to the instructor and parachute system, and you free fall with your instructor. You pull the ripcord and your instructor helps you guide the parachute down to a safe landing.
What does it feel like?
It is hard to describe what it feels like. There is no feeling of falling as you might get on a roller coaster. A feeling of weightlessness is how most describe it.
How long is the jump?
After a 20-minute ground course and some paperwork, you gear up and go. The airplane ride is about 30 minutes all the way up to 15,500 ft. We go the highest in Las Vegas. You free fall for about 60 seconds at 120 mph. You pull the parachute ripcord or your instructor will do it for you. The parachute ride is 5-7 minutes, and you can help on the landing.
How qualified are your instructors?
Instructors are certified by the USPA/FAA and all have experienced over 2,000 jumps.
What type of airplane is it?
We operate a Cessna 207 turbo and a Cessna 182. All are maintained by FAA Aircraft Mechanics and flown by FAA Commercial pilots. We follow all FAA Regulations for maintenance and safety protocols.
What type of equipment do you use?
All parachute rigs are equipped with a state-of-the-art glider ram air parachute and a Computerized Automatic Emergency Opener. All reserve parachutes are repacked every 120 days by a FAA certified parachute rigger.
What if the parachute does not open?
It is extremely rare that the main parachute does not work, but if it happens your instructor will just use the reserve parachute - that's it. It's like flying an airplane, before the pilot takes off he has a checklist and systems check, and we do the same. The tandem master is highly trained and ready to deal with any issues.
What should I wear?
Tennis shoes or athletic shoes with no hooks, T-shirt, jeans or shorts, bring a sweater in winter. We will provide you with a jumpsuit, goggles, earplugs and gloves. If you don't have shoes, we can also provide those to you at no additional cost.
What if I don't want to jump?
You're the boss. If you don't want to jump, you don't have to. Though your instructor will ride the plane down with you if it comforts you, the instructor would rather jump. Most skydivers feel safer jumping than landing with the airplane.
What if I have special needs or am physical handicapped?
Our tandem instructors can accommodate handicapped passengers. Please notify us in the "special requests" box when making your reservation.
What if the weather is bad?
It's very unusual that we have to cancel because of bad weather. But, the weather is sometimes different on the Las Vegas Strip, so call ahead to find out.

Sweet ride, thanks. I can't believe how fun that was.

It was a great time with great instructors who made you feel comfortable jumping out of a plane. The resulting views outside of the plane were AWESOME and the landing had a "soft touch". I will definitely do this again next year.

I LOVED IT! Was so excited for the experience but my expectations were surpassed primarily due to the enthusiasm of the instructors. There were varying levels of confidence within my group and all appeared to be dealt with in an appropriate manner. I loved it and would do it again. Only thing I would say is that I was told I would receive a dvd and still pics with the extra price but there were no stills, which I was really disappointed about esp as the dvd was so expensive. However, I had a great trip and can't wait to go again!

Well worth it, brilliant experience, well organised and run by professional people. I will do this again, great bunch of lads. Oh, 1 more THANK YOU.

Oh my god, I think this must be the best experience in my life. If you are looking for something to really get your heart going and your pulse racing, you need to try this. I really can't explain how good this is, the instructors were brilliant and made sure you felt safe and in good hands, as well as safe as you can feel jumping out of a plane at 15,000 feet anyway. Me and my friend are going back to Vegas next year and I can tell you we will be doing it again.
