At Grand Bend (Ontario) your first jump is a freefall skydive just like this,with TWO instructors assisting you, until the parachute is activated; you'll steer the parachute with instructions via radio

This site is intended to provide information for anyone interested in making a beginner skydive. We're a convenient drive from anywhere in southern Ontario. Want to make a parachute jump safely? We'll teach you using the most modern and safest methods available.

If you've checked out other schools' sites, you may already know that there's quite a variety of operations out there that can provide you with an introduction to the sport of parachuting. There are three options in terms of procedures for your first jump, depending on the club or center you choose. For example, you can do a jump where your parachute opens "automatically" or you can do a freefall either strapped to an instructor (called a "tandem jump") or with two instructors holding onto you. That third one is the only one we do and the picture above shows a typical first jump at GBSPC.

After your first jump there are different ways to progress to the solo skydiver stage too. There may appear to be quite a range of prices per jump too, depending on the type of procedure, number of instructors, altitude, season and size of your group.
