What is Tandem Skydiving?
Tandem Skydive from 10,000ft. Freefall at 200 km/h for 35 Seconds. The Ultimate Experience!
At all times you are securely attached to an Experienced and Qualified Instructor with hundreds or thousands of skydives worth of experience.
Tandem Parachute Equipment
Your Tandem Instructor wears the Tandem Parachute which is specially designed for two people. You wear the specially designed Tandem Harness which attaches you securely to the Tandem Parachute System. Your Instructor takes care of all the technical aspects of the Tandem Skydive. We provide you with all the equipment you need for your Tandem Skydive. All you need to wear is comfortable casual clothes and runners with laces.
Exiting Aircraft & Freefalling @ 200km/h
Everything you need to know about exiting the aircraft and your Freefall Body Position will be explained to you during your 20 minutes of training which takes place prior to your Skydive. After exiting the aircraft the you will accelerate to a Freefall speed of 200km/h (Terminal Velocity) in just 10 seconds. You will FreeFall for a total of approx 35 seconds and experience the Ultimate Rush of FreeFall Skydiving. Nothing on this earth can beat this experience!
After the Parachute Deploys
At approximately 5000ft (1525m) your Tandem Instructor deploys the main parachute. Once the parachute is fully open everything will become quiet and you will experience a feeling of bliss and wonder. You will be able to talk with your Tandem Instructor. At this point you will be asked if you would like to asist steering and fly the parachute. This is very exciting as you fly around the sky like a bird. The Parachute flight lasts approximately 4-5 minutes until touchdown. The Tandem Instructor will take control again for landing.
The Landing
When we land the Parachute we land into the wind just like airplanes and birds. The Tandem Instructor reminds you to get into your landing position (Legs up and feet and knees together) and then slows down the Parachute (called flaring) before touch down for a nice soft landing.
