A typical indoor skydiving session takes place inside a vertical wind tunnel. Powerful fans generate a column of air strong enough to lift your body off the ground. An instructor guides you through the basics before you enter the tunnel. You’ll float, turn, and learn to control your body position using small movements. Sessions usually last between sixty seconds and two minutes of actual flight time, often across multiple short rotations.
