TAKE THE LEAP, EXPERIENCE THE THRILL OF SKYDIVING!
Tandem skydives at Pacific Skydiving are perfect for those who long to experience the thrill of skydiving in the beautiful Hawaii without having to make a solo jump for your first time. Your instructor will do everything for you, just enjoy the high of the adrenaline rush over the spectacular views until you land safely on the grass!
You will get personalized training to prepare for your jump.
YOU ARE JUMPING WITH THE BEST
We have an international staff. Your Tandem Instructor is a USPA licensed, highly experienced skydiver with thousands of jumps under his belt. Our most experienced instructor has over 21,000 jumps! Your instructor wears an oversized parachute that is built to safely carry two people.
Your tandem skydive student equipment includes a special harness that attaches at four points to the front of the tandem skydiving instructor. The skydive begins with a team exit from 14-15,000 FT, followed by a 60+ second freefall (ULTIMATE JUMP), or 8-10,000 FT followed by a 15-20 second freefall (REGULAR JUMP). You safely land after a gentle glide over the beautiful North Shore of Oahu.

8-14,000ftEXIT AND FREEFALL
The sensation of freefall is more like flying than falling, and is intensely exciting and liberating. You do not feel like you're on a rollercoaster, instead you are floating in the middle of the sky without any the sensation of falling.
Helicopter has an EXTREME ADRENALINE RUSH FROM START TO FINISH! You feel the drop, the earth racing at you! Airplane has forward momentum so you never experience the falling sensation.
With the ULTIMATE skydive, existing at 8-14,000 feet, you will experience over 60 seconds of freefall at 120mph! -
