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.

    I had the best experience of my life at Piedmont Skydiving! The views were breathtaking and the professionalism of the entire staff was top notch. I always felt safe and instructor Kai was fun and made my jump very special! My skydiving experience was beyond my wildest dreams and the memories I made will last a lifetime. I highly recommend Piedmont Skydiving and I am looking forward to jumping again soon!

    Tandem jumping with Piedmont Skydiving was a really awesome experience. Chris made me feel so comfortable that I didn't really have a chance to be afraid. I'm glad I purchased the video package for my first jump so I can look back on it and show my friends. We have already paid for next time.

    Best freaking experience ever, I went with friends and family for my 21st. And, we would totally do it again. The crew was beyond amazing, esp. the instructors. They made the entire flight and jump worth every penny. They made jokes to lighten up our anxiousness and we wouldn’t have had it any other way. Definitely recommend Derek and Josh as instructors!!
