Skydiving prices in WA: your questions answered
How much does a tandem skydive cost in WA?
At The Skydive School a tandem skydive costs $399 from 8,000ft (about 20 seconds of freefall) or $489 from 14,000ft (60 seconds of freefall and a 5 to 7 minute parachute ride). Your briefing, gear and APF-certified instructor are included. Photos and video are optional: Handicam $179 or the Deluxe package $289.
Is the 14,000ft tandem worth the extra $90?
For most people, yes. You get three times the freefall (about 60 seconds instead of 20) and a longer parachute ride over the Wheatbelt, which is why it's our most popular tandem. The 8,000ft jump suits you if you're nervous or short on time.
