TANDEM WATER LANDING PROCEDURES
A water landing is not a likely scenario for a Tandem jump, but it is a possibility. Below is a list of procedures to follow
for a Tandem water landing. Since it is best to be prepared for every eventuality, practice the sequence on the ground
a few times to get familiar with the order of events.
