Skydiving company introduction
There are more than five companies in the Las Vegas area that offer skydiving services, but there are two main ones, GoJump, Skydive. The two have the most reviews on the Internet, the service is very good, and the airport that takes off is not too far from Las Vegas (both about 30 minutes). There are also Skydive Mesquite and Skydive Fyrosity, but they are more than an hour's drive (two hours back and forth). It is much more troublesome to participate in these two skydiving traffic, and you will have to pay extra fares.

Grand Canyon area (next to South Canyon National Park)
Paragon Skydive – Google Review 4.7/5 (102) Departure from the airport at Grand Canyon National Park (South Gorge). Grand Canyon National Park is about four and a half hours drive from Las Vegas. The departure airport is about a few minutes drive from the Grand Canyon Park about 20. In the Grand Canyon Park, it is forbidden to parachute, so it is flying to the edge, not directly above the Grand Canyon. However, because it is at high altitude, the scenery overlooking the canyon is still a very special experience.
Parachute product introduction, reservation method
Generally, skydiving products are called Tandem Skydiving. Tandem means "one-to-one" in English, which means that the skydiving coach will take you to jump behind you.A small number of skydiving companies provide individual jumps (you must open the umbrella yourself and sign the contract at your own risk). Most passengers still choose Tandem Skydiving, which is led by the instructor and operated for you.There is an Extreme package for parachuting in the Grand Canyon. There will also be a coach behind you, but you will have the opportunity to open the parachute and slide by yourself. (I will also teach you how to operate before departure)
The price of skydiving in Las Vegas is about one person around 200-250 (see season and time and discounts at the time). There is only one company in the Grand Canyon. The fee is 299/person.

Many people will ask, how do you want to buy a movie or photo of a skydiving? How much does it cost? Because this experience is a very precious special experience, maybe you will only do it once in a lifetime, if you want to buy a movie or Photographs, the fees listed above are not included, and local and merchants are required to purchase additional packages. Each merchant charges differently, but most of them are divided into three types: Buy photos, buy videos, and buy photos and videos at the same time. The price is probably between 50-150/people. (Yes, the charges are not low. However, because they provide special equipment to wear on their heads or hands, they can only buy if they want)

They will explain before departure, and then put on the small plane and set off after wearing the equipment. The whole activity is usually around 2-3 hours.
