A tandem jump is the way to go if you want the ultimate joy-ride, or if you’re unsure about skydiving, and want to try it out before committing to a full course. Experience the thrill of freefall without the effort of learning all the theory.
On a tandem jump, you are strapped to a Tandem Instructor with a special harness that’s attached to a specially designed parachute large enough to support both of you. After only 15 minutes of ground briefing it is out the door for a 120mph/200kph freefall, falling about 25-30 seconds from 9,000ft or for about 35-40 seconds from 11,000ft.
The Tandem Instructor opens the parachute at about 5000ft, and a peaceful 3-4 minute parachute ride to the ground follows.
A tandem jump requires that you’re in general good health. The maximum weight for a tandem
passenger is 105kg, heavier persons at the discretion of the Tandem Instructor. Parental consent is required for jumpers under the age of 18. |
