Tandem skydiving in Southern California costs around $200. It's a little more expensive if you get video of your jump BUT IT'S WORTH IT! Especially if you don't jump often, the video is a great way to memorialize your skydiving experience!
How much does a skydiving instructor earns per year in the UK?
That varies a lot from dropzone to dropzone. Some are not full-time and some instructors only work weekends. It is fair to say that the majority of skydiving instructors are part-time. Making a decent wage as a skydiving instructor is not easy.
What does skydiving feel like?
Skydiving is a great feeling and very much unlike a roller coaster. There is a gently sensation of floating. Yes you are going fast (around 120mph), but when strapped to a tandem instructor, it feels safe. This experience lasts for approximately 45 seconds before you feel a sudden deceleration as the instructor opens the parachute at around 5000ft. I thoroughly recommend sky diving as a fantastic adrenaline filled adventure.
How high are you off the ground when skydiving?
Around 13,000 ft for a tandem jump and about 3,500 ft for a static line jump but more experienced skydivers can go much higher.

Sky diving instructor?
Becoming a skydiving instructor requires much dedication and initial financial input. Typically, an accelerated freefall (AFF) instructor in the UK will be required to complete a minimum of 800 descents first. With hard work and commitment, an individual can become an instructor within 3 years. This requires a lot of time and money to be spent.
How much does parachuting cost?
Parachuting is a part of skydiving and most people do a Tandem Skydiving Course for their first jump. This costs around £240 in the UK. The highest altitude of 15000ft can be found at Skydive Hibaldstow which is near to Leeds, Sheffield and Hull. This gives you a freefall time of around a minute and is a great introduction to the sport.
How much is a yearly Salary of a skydiving jumpmaster instructor in Florida?
Tandem and AFF instructors typically are paid $30 to $35 a jump. If Florida with a year round season, instructors can make 1000 to 1,500 jumps a year, so on the low end for a full time instructor in Florida $30,000, on the high end $50,000. There are also part time guys who maintain a day job (so they can afford to eat indoors), then work on the weekends. Again it depends on how many working jumps he does.

How much money does it cost to go skydiving?
If you are looking to just make one tandem jump then you are looking at about $200 for the jump and $50 to $100 for video. The prices are different at different drop zones and you will have to find out from them for the actual cost.
How fast are you traveling when skydiving?
The pilot will usually slow down the aircraft as much as possible when the skydivers jump out. This makes it easier to jump out and reduces the chance of someone hitting the tailplane as the plane is pointing slightly downwards. On small aircraft, the speed will probably be between 70 and 100mph.
Is skydive safe?
Skydiving in any form carries an element of risk, but it is much lower than many people think. For a tandem jump, which is the most common way to start skydiving or just to do a one of jump, safety is very good. Injures are rare and fatalities are even rarer. The injury rate is about 1 in 700 and the fatality rate is about 1 in 300,000. This is the safest way to skydive. You can increase the safety of the jump by going to a reputable dropzone, paying attention to and following the instructions that the tandem instructor gives you, and being in good health and not overweight. If you can do all of these, your chances of injury or death are massively reduced further. Many people ask, 'What if the parachute doesn't open?' This is very rare, about 1 in 1000 openings are not good enough. The main parachute will be cut away and the reserve will be opened, usually automatically. On a tandem jump, the instructor will handle all of this. Another question people ask is, 'What if the reserve doesn't open?' While there is no guarantee that the reserve will open perfectly, it is required by law to be packed by a professional with lots of experience. Reserve parachutes are also built and deployed to be more reliable. All this makes the chance of a double malfunction very unlikely. Most injuries and deaths are the result of hard impacts with the ground under a working parachute, and are caused by the skydiver making a mistake.
