Overview
Skydiving - Go on just do it!! Set aside most of the day because this is the day your life is about to change forever. Find out why the birds sing. After being trained by your professional skydiving instructor your fear, feelings and excitement will build up as you take the biggest step of your life!
Tandem jumps provide extra security to those of you who are a little unsure, as you complete the jump from between 8,000-12,000 feet harnesses to your instructor.
You will experience the breathtaking exhilaration of a 50 second freefall, followed by a peaceful four minute parachute ride under a parachute built for two.
On the day of your jump you and your instructor board the plane and climb to a jump altitude between 8,000 - 12,000 feet. Then you and your instructor harnessed together simultaneously exit the plane, and freefall together for 60 seconds, reaching speeds of up to 350kph.
At 5000 feet your instructor pulls the ripcord activating the dual controlled tandem parachute, which is then followed by a peaceful four minute parachute ride.
You will be instructed in landing procedures while descending, resulting in your assisting to street the parachute in for a soft accurate landing.
And for those of you who are scared the parachute wont open...Our instructors and safety equipment are among the best possible available in the world today. Each student parachute is fitted with
TWO AUTOMATIC OPENING DEVICES which ensures your parachute opens no matter what happens.
Our tandem parachutes are also fitted with a computer operated emergency opening system. This ensures your parachute opens in the unlikely event that your parachute instructor fails to pull the ripcord at the minimum required altitude.
