Tandem Skydiving in Michigan

Feel the Rush

#1 Option for First-Time Skydivers

The tandem skydive is our recommended method to experience human flight for the first time. With less than an hour of training, you will be ready to take your first skydive! It is by far the quickest, safest and most convenient way to experience the thrill of freefall on your very first jump. Skydive Tecumseh is the #1 choice for tandem skydiving Michigan!

A tandem skydive at Skydive Tecumseh can take you higher than any other dropzone in Michigan, up to 18,000ft! This means you’ll experience up to a full minute of freefall at speeds around 120 mph!

What Is Tandem Skydiving?

In a tandem skydive, one of our USPA-certified instructors will guide you through the whole jump from exit through freefall, piloting the canopy, and landing. You (the student) will wear a harness system that is attached to your tandem instructor’s harness via four secure points. The tandem instructor wears a double-sized rig containing the parachute which you will have a chance to steer up high and he/she will then take over control for the landing.

You will be attached to the front of the instructor, so during freefall you will have a full, breathtaking view of the scenery. After your parachute opens you will have a scenic 4 to 6 minute parachute ride which can be as gentle or exciting as you wish.

With a tandem skydive, you can even have a trained videographer jump with you to document your entire experience with video and still photos! Check out some examples of our professional-quality videos here.

Skydiving with a Disability

In our 50+ plus years of skydiving, Skydive Tecumseh has hosted many guests with various disabilities, so it is possible to make a tandem skydive with a disability. It’s important to note that this is not universal and all guests with a disability must be evaluated on a case by case basis to ensure the individual’s cognitive and physical ability will permit them to safely make a skydive. If you are an individual with a disability and wish to make a skydive, please contact us to schedule an appointment to allow our instructional staff to evaluate whether you can safely make a skydive. Please note, walk-ups will not be accepted until a proper evaluation is completed by private appointment. Skydive Tecumseh reserves the right to refuse service to anyone for the safety of our students and instructors.
