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 place was awesome!! They have student pricing which is really helpful in saving some money. Our instructors were really funny and they really tried their best to make us feel comfortable. Skydiving is an amazing experience and these guys love what they do. It’s very safe and they make sure everything is in order before take off. I will for sure come back to do it again.

    Go skydiving. Seriously don't put it off. It's fun and really not as big of a deal as you think. The people at Piedmont Skydiving were super nice. I felt safe the entire time! It was definitely a once in a lifetime experience and I'm glad it was here! Kyle was awesome. He helped calm my nerves and I had a great time.

    This was my second jump at Piedmont Skydiving. I got to jump with Skye this time. It was awesome! He made it so much fun. He let me do a flip out of the airplane and pull the parachute. I can't recommend this place enough. Go check them out!

    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
