Tandem Skydiving between Philadelphia and New York

Tandem Skydiving departing from Lakewood Airport

This tandem skydive takes place in Lakewood, New Jersey, with a listed jump at 10,000 ft. This option is intended as an introduction to freefall with a tandem master who handles the entire technical part. The main highlight of this skydive is the view of the Jersey Shore, with the East Coast shoreline and the Atlantic Ocean visible from the airplane and then under canopy.

The process begins with arrival at the drop zone, check-in, and preparation with the instructor. After the briefing, which explains the safety instructions and the positions to adopt in the airplane and during the jump, the gear is put on, and boarding takes place for the airplane climb. When the altitude of 10,000 ft is reached, the door opens and it is time for about 45 seconds of freefall, with a speed close to 120 mph. Once the parachute opens, the descent becomes calmer and makes it possible to enjoy the coastal landscape before landing.

What you see during the jump in Lakewood

From the airplane, you can see Lakewood, the Jersey Shore, and the Atlantic Ocean. Under canopy, you can clearly see the New Jersey shoreline and the Atlantic coast visible in the background, a real sightseeing flight above the New Jersey shoreline in addition to the jump.

The jump, reserved for people age 18 and over, is offered on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and no experience is required.
