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.

    Went on my Birthday and I’d say the best birthday gift I ever received. It was my Girlfriend first time on the airplane so jumping out from one was crazy but she absolutely loved it. Instructors were really helpful and made us feel really comfortable and safe being with them. I can’t remember my instructors name (what a shame) but he was such an amazing dude. I will post a picture with him. Thank y’all so much for the experience we will be back, worth every penny. Money is nothing compare to this experience

    This was my first time skydiving, and the staff at Piedmont Skydiving couldn’t have been more helpful. They explained every step we were going to take before we even go in the plane. Once we were in the air, they continued to talk us through what we were going to do, to put us first timers at ease. The first step out of the plane was a big one for me, but the experience immediately fun and exciting. They brought me back to the ground with an unbelievably easy landing.

    Experience of a lifetime. Matt is the best! I felt comfortable and safe. He made it so fun because he enjoyed it almost as much as I did. All the instructors are awesome.
