The first jump course is held at the drop zone. Tandem courses are held at the dropzone the day of the jump.

No. We offer solo, tandem and PFF first jump courses. The choice is yours.

First Jump Courses are held on Friday evenings at 6:30 pm on specific dates (check our online registration for available dates) at the drop zone. The first jump course lasts approximately 4 hours depending on the students and the questions that come up in the class. Note: Courses start promptly so make sure you are there a little before 6:30pm.

No. The dropzone is located at Moose Jaw Municipal Airport. You will go to the MJ Airport at 8:30am on Saturday following the course.

A tandem jump is arranged in the same manner as an IAD or PFF jump. You may book online or phone 306-569-5867 and leave a message with your name and phone number. One of our volunteers will get back to you as soon as possible.

We encourage you to do a few jumps on your first day out with us if you are up to it. We find that people typically find the second or third jump more enjoyable because it is no longer fear of the unknown. They are more relaxed and can enjoy the canopy time more.

IAD first jumps are from 3,500 feet. As you progress, you jump from higher altitudes up to 10,500 feet. Tandems are from 7,500' or 10,500'.

IAD stands for Instructor Assisted Deployment. This means that the instructor who is along with you in the plane will be releasing your pilot chute. This pilot chute in turn will be opening up your container allowing the main parachute to open.

Tandem Skydive, plan on at least half a day; for the first IAD jump, plan on an all-day adventure. PFF is all day Saturday and all day Sunday. Keep in mind that in this sport safety is our priority — not time!

No. Every skydiver must have at least 200 jumps before they are eligible to wear a camera. Cameras are a distraction, and when you are not experienced enough, it can be extremely dangerous to wear one, not only for you, but also for your instructor.

The minimum age is 18 years. There is no upper limit, as long as you are in good physical condition. We do require a physician's approval if you are over 65.

Skydiving is an active sport, and you need to be in reasonable physical condition. Maximum weight for a Tandem or IAD is 230 lbs. On the day of the jump, you may be asked to step on a scale to verify you are within weight restrictions.

This is a definite NO! We strictly adhere to Transport Canada regulations and do not allow alcohol or drugs anywhere on the premises while we are under operation.

We'll provide everything you will need for your jump: jumpsuit, goggles, helmet, etc.

Anything comfortable and sports-like. We don't recommend jeans or belts — something comfortable you would wear to exercise outside. Definitely wear running shoes. No boots or sandals. Finger Toe shoes are NOT acceptable.

We don't recommend jumping on an empty stomach, nor do we recommend jumping with a really full stomach. So eat something light.

Please do! The more people the better. It makes it fun for us when people come and enjoy themselves. Children are welcome, but please remember, this is an airport and children must be carefully watched.

We encourage you to bring a lunch or snacks, or you can purchase food in Moose Jaw, about 10 minutes from the dropzone. We have a vending machine for soft drinks or water and a gas barbecue that you can use.

We often have barbecues on the weekends and enjoy some of the day's videos. This is a time for everyone to relax and have a cold one and talk about the most exciting thing they've ever done!

There is plenty of camping space available. There are no power hookups however.
