High Altitude | Highest Skydive in the Carolinas

Experience a High Altitude Skydive from 17,500ft for up to 80 seconds of freefall, the highest and longest skydive in the Carolinas.

High Altitude Skydives offer even more excitement than your standard tandem skydive. By increasing the altitude and freefall time, skydivers have more time to take in the views and appreciate the experience.

What is a high altitude skydive?

Skydiving is an incredible experience no matter how high you jump from. But, If you’re looking for a bit more excitement on a tandem jump, then a high altitude jump is probably the way to go.

A standard tandem skydive is from about 12,500ft. From this altitude, skydivers can expect about 40 seconds of freefall. A high altitude skydive is typically between 15,000ft and 18,000ft above ground level, giving skydivers up to 80 seconds of freefall.

At Piedmont Skydiving we offer the highest and longest high altitude skydive in the Carolinas, from about 17,500ft. Our PAC 750 Skydiving Airplane is also equipped with supplemental oxygen to make breathing easier once you get past 15,000ft.

    This was my first time skydiving and I had an awesome experience at Piedmont! My best friend and I came for her birthday so I was hoping it would be a great experience for her and it was! Everyone is so friendly and laid back, we felt totally comfortable asking them a million questions and they walked us through exactly what would happen, but basically told us not to worry about anything and to just enjoy it! Which is exactly what I did and it was great, shoutout Derek! Definitely a place Iā€™d recommend for all levels of skydiving!

    My first jump was with Kyle. His confidence made jump a joy. I am 71 and have already jumped again and this time my wife Trina went. Mr Dave

    Amazing experience, the place could be better... more chairs, place to buy cold drinks, possible a observation tower to view the landing. The customer service was really good.

    60th Birthday surprise for my husband, even bigger surprise for him I was going to skydive as well. With my fear of heights and not loving to fly, I was first out the plane. My tandem partner, Darren, was wonderful. Had my back the whole time šŸ™‚ Thank you to Melinda and Holly in the office to all our tandem partners (4) who made the whole experience exceptional. Definitely get the video and photo package! Loved it! Will be back!
