First-Time Jumpers
Go Tandem Skydiving in Oregon
The Closest Skydiving Center to Portland, Oregon/City Center
Are you ready to experience the ultimate adventure? You’ve come to the right place! PNW Skydiving is the premier destination for tandem skydiving in Oregon and we can’t wait to jump with you! Located in the heart of Oregon’s beautiful Willamette Valley, PNW Skydiving is the ideal place to embark on your Oregon skydiving adventure. Our highly experienced team will ensure that your tandem skydiving experience is truly unforgettable!
What to Expect on Your First Skydive
On the day of your big adventure, come at your scheduled time (no need to arrive early), dressed appropriately for the weather of the day, and wearing tennis shoes. When you arrive our friendly front desk staff will get you checked in. Depending on how busy the dropzone is on the day of your jump, you will have some time to wait before it is your turn to skydive**.
We have lots of space for all of your friends and family, whether they are jumping or not. We love big groups! The bigger the better, in fact!
Once it is your turn to skydive, you will be introduced to your Tandem Instructor and, if you bought the photo/video package (we HIGHLY recommend buying this package, you will not regret it — we promise!), your camera flyer, who will fly right in front of you capturing every moment of your adventure.
Your tandem instructor will get you geared up in your harness and walk with you to the airplane. Our beautiful PAC XL750 airplane holds up to 14 jumpers at a time and climbs to our 14,500-foot drop altitude like a homesick angel. Your ride to altitude will take approximately 15 minutes, then the real adventure will begin…
Once you return to earth, your gear will be removed and you will receive a thank you package. Your photos will be sent to you the same day as the jump, and your video will be sent to you once it has been edited.
