It all starts with tackling prescribed solo skydiving requirements, and we\u2019re here to give you the 101 on how it\u2019s done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Many Skydives Do You Need to Jump Solo?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>None! At Skydive Perris, we do not require tandem jumps before solo skydiving. The curriculum we cover in our highly-respected student progression program &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/learn-to-skydive\">Perris Skydiving Program<\/a> (PSP) &#8211; is robust and extensive, and provides the most coached freefall time possible for students.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, how many jumps do you need to skydive alone? Say it with us: zero! Can you skydive alone the first time? Heck to the YEAHHH!&nbsp;<br>But \u2026 before you decide to jump into a skydive solo course, we do suggest that you first make a tandem. Completing a <a href=\"https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/first-time-skydiving\">tandem skydive<\/a> allows you to experience the sensations of freefall for the first time while attached to a professional skydiving instructor. This affords you the opportunity to get a feel for skydiving without all the added responsibility that comes with skydiving solo. Mandatory: no. Wise: yes. Up to you: totally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Can I Skydive Solo Without a Tandem Jump? #skydiving #skydive #tandemskydiving #learntoskydive\" width=\"565\" height=\"318\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lcQFdwE1Zq0?feature=oembed&#038;rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Solo Skydiving Requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Age<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your age is a top solo skydiving requirement. To skydive solo (or to skydive in the US, period), you must be at least 18 years old. We require a valid, government-issued photo ID to verify age. No exceptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Weight<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The maximum weight limit for skydiving solo is 240 lbs, and to ensure the equipment fits correctly, you must be height-weight proportionate. This restriction is in compliance with the Federal Aviation Administration as well as the recommendations and restrictions issued by the manufacturers of the gear we use. Skydiving aims to be inclusive, and the only time that restrictions like this are in place is to keep you and our instructors safe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Health<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to be in generally good shape to skydive solo. For certain medical conditions and health issues, a doctor\u2019s note may be required prior to jumping. For example, at Skydive Perris, a history of shoulder dislocations requires written permission from your doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Language<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At Skydive Perris, our course materials and skydiving instruction are in English. You need to have a good understanding of the English language (both written and spoken) in order to enroll in PSP and to complete subsequent solo skydives.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" src=\"https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/dsc04102-1-700x467.jpg\" alt=\"solo skydiving requirements\" class=\"wp-image-21501\" srcset=\"https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/dsc04102-1-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/dsc04102-1-1760x1173.jpg 1760w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/dsc04102-1-1280x853.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/dsc04102-1-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/dsc04102-1-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/dsc04102-1-1600x1067.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/dsc04102-1-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/dsc04102-1-1120x747.jpg 1120w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/dsc04102-1-960x640.jpg 960w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/dsc04102-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/dsc04102-1-480x320.jpg 480w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/dsc04102-1-320x213.jpg 320w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/dsc04102-1-240x160.jpg 240w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/dsc04102-1-160x107.jpg 160w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/dsc04102-1-80x53.jpg 80w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/dsc04102-1-720x480.jpg 720w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/dsc04102-1-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/dsc04102-1-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/dsc04102-1-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/dsc04102-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/dsc04102-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/dsc04102-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I\u2019m Eligible! What\u2019s Next?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you meet the solo skydiving requirements, the next step is to enroll in the <a href=\"https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/faq-school\"><strong>Perris Skydiving Program<\/strong><\/a>!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PSP encompasses 18 levels of <a href=\"https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/indoor\">indoor<\/a> and outdoor skydiving training in order to produce the best, most competent and confident skydivers. Our program is much more comprehensive than the classic AFF (Accelerated Freefall) curriculum that you\u2019ll find at most skydiving centers, and offers a minimum of three times more coached freefall time (36 minutes!). PSP graduates are equipped to serve as responsible members of the international skydiving community and to advance the sport of skydiving.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PSP Level 1 is our first jump course. After completing a four to six-hour ground school, you will begin to gain practical freefall and canopy experience. By the conclusion of Level 1, you will have learned all that you need to know to successfully complete your first solo skydive, including the hand signals we use to communicate in freefall; proper body position for exiting the aircraft and for a stable freefall; flying and landing the parachute; and proper emergency procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From here, you will progress through 17 additional curricular levels and complete your packing class. You\u2019ll then make a series of hop \u2019n pops and solo skydives. Then you are ready to apply for your <a href=\"https:\/\/uspa.org\/\">USPA<\/a> (United States Parachute Association) A License! WOOOHOOO!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Long Does It Take To Skydive Solo?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>How many hours do you need to skydive alone? Only about six hours! These hours account for the ground school portion of the PSP; learning how you safely complete the skydive, from exiting the aircraft to landing your canopy; and effectively overcoming any potential emergencies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From here, it\u2019s practice, practice, practice until you gain mastery of the required skills. It is our goal to make sure you are 100% comfortable and confident when skydiving alone for the first time!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The time it takes to complete all 18 PSP levels varies from person to person. The rate at which you progress through PSP will depend on your availability of time and resources, the <a href=\"\/blog\/how-weather-affects-skydiving\/\">weather<\/a>, instructor capacity, and personal performance. For some, PSP takes a matter of weeks; for others, more than a year. As long as you stay current by making a jump at least every 30 days, you can continue your progression.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"547\" src=\"https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSC08945-700x547.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSC08945-700x547.jpg 700w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSC08945-80x62.jpg 80w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSC08945-615x480.jpg 615w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSC08945-1920x1500.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSC08945-1760x1375.jpg 1760w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSC08945-1600x1250.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSC08945-1440x1125.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSC08945-1280x1000.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSC08945-1120x875.jpg 1120w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSC08945-960x750.jpg 960w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSC08945-800x625.jpg 800w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSC08945-640x500.jpg 640w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSC08945-480x375.jpg 480w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSC08945-320x250.jpg 320w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSC08945-160x125.jpg 160w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSC08945-819x640.jpg 819w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSC08945-410x320.jpg 410w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSC08945-307x240.jpg 307w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSC08945-102x80.jpg 102w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSC08945-250x195.jpg 250w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSC08945-768x600.jpg 768w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSC08945-1536x1200.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSC08945-2048x1600.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSC08945-120x94.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Much Does It Cost To Learn To Skydive?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We could go on and on about how skydiving is a truly priceless activity and how the experiences are lifelong and worth every penny, BUT we know that cost is a factor for most everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, PSP Level 1 is $379. After this, you can opt to pay as you go or, if you are able to pre-purchase the full program &#8211; which will get you all the way up to earning your USPA A License &#8211; it\u2019s $4,031.91.
