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 one, if not the most exhilarating experiences I've ever had! Being a "first timer" I was nervous to say the least. My instructor, Matt K. was absolutely awesome! He was informative, patient and best of all funny. He eased my nerves and I had an absolute blast. I'm totally hooked. I would recommend Piedmont Skydiving to anyone who asks.

    Absolutely Amazing time, I was a first timer and had the time of my life, everything went smooth, my instructor has been jumping for 25 years so that eliminated any fear I had. It has also inspired my family so I will be back for my second time this year.

    Best thing I've ever done with my clothes on. I have a fear of heights and don't like flying but loved skydiving. Can't wait to do it again.

    Bought the experience for my mom for her 65th birthday. Her brother came down (who turned 68 the day before her birthday) and he decided to jump with her. They had a GREAT time. Josh who jumped with my mom and Derek; I think was the guy who jumped with my uncle were both awesome!! The whole process was smooth and everyone was friendly. They both are ready to do it again.
