"Hi, this is J.P. Furnari with Expert Village and Skydive Santa Barbara and in this clip, we will talk about tandem skydiving. Tandem skydiving is a great way to enjoy the sport with very little effort. Starting with our tandem gear, we have our tandem parachute system containing two parachutes sized for two people. One parachute located in the bottom portion and an emergency parachute located in the top. On the front of the harness you'll notice four attachment points.

With about fifteen minutes of training you'll be able to leap out of an airplane for the first time with an instructor to guide you safely."
