Skydive Manitoba operates skydiving experiences based in Gimli, Manitoba, on the shores of Lake Winnipeg. The business offers two core experiences: a Tandem Skydive and a First Jump Course that prepares participants for a supervised solo jump from 3,000 feet.
The Tandem Skydive pairs each participant with a skilled instructor and includes a brief ground training session followed by a scenic ascent above Lake Winnipeg and an exhilarating freefall. Tandem participants are securely harnessed to an instructor for the entire jump.
The First Jump Course focuses on essential skills and safety protocols required for a solo skydive. Participants learn canopy control and landing techniques before completing a solo jump from 3,000 feet, followed by a guided parachute landing.
Skydive Manitoba’s location in Gimli offers clear access to the lake and local airspace for scenic flights. Safety instruction and equipment handling are integral parts of each experience, and all program descriptions emphasize training and supervised jumps. The Adventure Collective features Skydive Manitoba listings and booking details for visitors seeking these skydiving experiences in Gimli, Manitoba.
