First Jump Class Skydive Fort Wayne offers two options for your first skydive : 1) "Tandem" is the method allowing you to make your skydive attached to the instructor; 2) "Instructor Assisted" is a popular option allowing you to make your first skydive solo. Tandem is generally recommended if you believe you will likely make one jump only for the experience. It offers a good likeness of freefall even though you are attached to the instructor. Instructor Assisted is the best option if you want to learn more about the sport and are likely to jump again in the future. This program allows you to progress in the sport at your own pace. Both methods are equally safe and either is a great first jump experience. Either method allows you to train and jump same day. Call for details. Note: It is important that we stay on schedule, therefore please be on time for the class you select on your reservation form. You do not need confirmation from us (we will only contact you if the date you request is not available). You can download a First Jump Course Reservation Form from the website. Just fill it out and send it in with your deposit, and we will get you scheduled to make your first skydive! Navy Seal Influence Naval special warfare teams (UDT/SEAL) are widely known and respected. A.J. Hudson started parachuting while in "The Teams" during the 1970s, also was selected to NASAs primary recovery team where he worked with the largest parachutes ever built at that time. The disciplines and practices set in place by A.J. have helped lead Skydive Fort Wayne to an excellent safety record with zero fatalities and an injury rate far below the national average after more than fifteen years operation. A.J. remains an active consultant with Skydive Fort Wayne At Angola Airport.
