Professional Atmosphere At New York Skydiving Schools

Skydiving Tattoo Or A Tattoo Skydiving?

Those who believe that human beings will never come up with something unusual again may be in for a surprise. In 2007, a man combined two interests by getting a tattoo during a skydive. While this is certainly not an everyday occurrence, the ability to combine the two started with some basic instruction and a first jump many years ago.

Whether the tattooed man learned to skydive in New York or not is not the issue. The heart of the matter is that those who live in the northeastern United States can get their first experience by taking part in New York skydiving.

All along the New Jersey shore, and at several locations on Long Island, skydiving centers are thriving, teaching the sport to new enthusiasts and providing resources for the more experienced. Nearly all of these skydiving facilities work closely with equipment companies to ensure that the experience is completely positive for new divers and veterans alike. The people who have experienced New York skydiving find that the equipment is not only new but is also displays cutting-edge technology.

Tandem First?

New York skydiving facilities offer the important tandem skydiving experience, allowing less experienced thrill-seekers to jump and leave control to the professional. In nearly every location, the men and women known as jump masters have recorded thousands of jumps. This goes a long way toward easing the anxiety of the first-time skydiver, whether in tandem with an instructor or on a first solo jump.

Some of the facilities in and around the New York area actually specialize in tandem skydiving. This expertise attracts hundreds each year who wish to experience the thrill of "flying" for a few moments accompanied by a master in the sport.

Basic Information

Most New York skydiving facilities limit participation to those 18 years of age and older (no exceptions). Students are evaluated as an individual to determine if he or she is in good physical condition and has no medical conditions that might pose a problem. Tandem skydiving generally costs about $200 in the New York skydiving world (a few dollars more on weekends). Solo skydivers pay on a different schedule. All New York skydiving facilities ask students to sign a release waiver, but this is standard for most sport activities. Under normal circumstances, in good weather, a tandem class takes less than an hour. Students then move on to the first skydive available. Visitors should plan to devote a whole day to this unique experience.
