Tandem skydiving in San Antonio




Description
Discover skydiving in the heart of Texas
A tandem skydive near San Antonio lets you discover freefall alongside a certified instructor.
The activity begins with a meeting with the team at Castroville Municipal Airport, located in the north-west region of San Antonio, an area used for the skydiving school and flights dedicated to tandem skydiving in Texas.
As soon as you arrive, the instructor explains the full sequence of the jump and guides you through the equipment setup.
After the briefing, you board the airplane that takes you to the exit altitude.
During the climb, you observe the plains of the Texas Hill Country, the areas around Helotes, and the natural lines of the region north of San Antonio.
Once the altitude is reached, the instructor opens the door and prepares the exit.
The jump is done in tandem, with a stable freefall supervised by the tandem instructor.
A beautiful canopy descent above the San Antonio region
The descent continues under canopy after the parachute opens.
The instructor controls the trajectory and adjusts the glide to show you different landmarks visible from the area: the Hill Country terrain, the roads leading toward Bandera, or the agricultural fields located around the landing zone.
The final approach is performed gently, with a landing on the designated area near the main building.
This activity is designed for a first experience of skydiving in a professional setting, with the constant assistance of an instructor and the use of equipment adapted to tandem skydiving for a memorable souvenir of this skydive in Texas.
