What is the cost to the business owner for providing skydiving both tandem and experienced single jumpers?
If by 'business owner' you mean 'dropzone owner - DZO', then the costs can vary a lot depending on which country you are based in, which association you belong to and what type of jumping you are offering as you primary means of income generation. Some examples:
- Typically the tandem skydive is the most profitable form of skydiving and the main stay of many operations. In New Zealand for instance, you will find very little sport (experienced) skydiving. Its mostly foreign tandem skydiving instructors.
- The profitability of a tandem skydiving oepration can be reduced if the aircraft offered is a big turbine (e.g. Twin Otter) as they have higher running costs than a piston aircraft (e.g. a Cessna 182). This cost is mostly associated with the cost / maintenance of engines.
- If you are wanting a lot of experienced jumpers to skydive at your dropzone, then you will have to offer altitude. This means a minimum of 13,000ft and a fast turnaround, again a reason to run a turbine aircraft. Many tandem only operations
- One of the important things to note is that the role of a DZ can change from year to year. Some of the influencing factors are currency exchange rates making team training cheaper or more expensive in a country, the development of a new line of business (charity group parachuting), the closing down / opening up of a dropzone nearby which creates new opportunities.

What is an origin of skydiving?
Skydiving originated around 1910 from the activity of parachuting. Parachuting was invented as a means of survival in the catastrophic failure of an early aeronatuic balloon or aircraft. Air circuses, displayer jumpers were the initial pioneers and they deployed their parachute the moment they exited the aircraft. However, in more recent times, this grew into a military activity with the advent of World War I & II. Post-war, ex-military jumpers then went onto to develop sport 'fun' parachuting and skydiving.
How do you market a skydiving business?
To market a skydiving business, focus on creating a strong online presence through an engaging website and active social media channels showcasing thrilling videos and testimonials. Leverage local partnerships with adventure tourism companies and hotels for cross-promotions. Additionally, offer special packages, discounts, or referral programs to attract first-time jumpers and encourage word-of-mouth marketing. Hosting events or experiential promotions can also draw attention and create memorable experiences for potential customers.

quiet dangerous but children could get injured.
What were some of the early problems for skydiving?
Early skydiving faced several challenges, including unreliable parachute designs, which often resulted in malfunctions and injuries. Additionally, the lack of standardized training and safety protocols led to a high accident rate among novice jumpers. The sport also struggled with public perception, as many viewed it as dangerous and reckless. As technology improved and safety measures were established, skydiving began to gain popularity and credibility.
Is sky diving aerobic?
Not really. Training for competition might require some running or jumping, but few fun jumpers bother with conditioning. Skydiving itself is tiring, but not really all that aerobic.
What order do you put the number in for the sky dive code?
The order for a sky dive code typically follows the sequence of the jumpers' assigned numbers or the specific protocol established by the skydiving facility. Generally, this could involve organizing by the jump order, experience levels, or specific group assignments. Always refer to the guidelines provided by your skydiving instructor or facility for the correct sequence.
Where do you play skydiving?
That depends on which country you live in. The best way to find out where to skydive is to look for you National skydiving association. For example in the UK, its the British Parachute Association. They hold a list of all parachuting centres (also known as dropzones). Another way is to use a search engine and type your location, for example 'skydiving Yorkshire'. The vast majority of dropzones have websites and they should appear when you search. If you are looking to do just a single skydive, it is recommended to do a tandem skydiving jump as your first. This is where you are harnessed to an experienced instructor and you can experience freefall for up to a minute. Edit: I would add that the first jump method is not "recommended." True, the vast majority of first jumps are done with the tandem system these days. That said, what is best for any particular student depends on the student and his motivation. You can also make a first skydive through Static Line, Instructor Assisted Deployment, and Accelerated Free Fall. Every method of first jump has it's advantages, no method is the best, but many skydivers will tell you that one is better than another. People will push one method over another generally for business reasons, personal opinion, or ignorance of the other training methods. Have a nice day! Martin Myrtle Air Capital Drop Zone
