General
A 15-minute briefing from a qualified tandem Instructor with 2000+ skydives, who is
'Parachute Association of South Africa' & 'United States Parachute Association' qualified is all you need before exiting a turbine aircraft from between 11000 -14000ft above ground.
Safely hooked to your instructor you will freefall for 50-60 seconds before opening the parachute at 5000ft above ground.
You will enjoy a comfortable and scenic 5-10 minute parachute ride down before landing softly and safely back on the dropzone with your instructor.
Tandem skydiving - the safest and quickest way to get you FREEFALLING....
Courses on offer
TANDEM SKYDIVE
Recommended as your 1st skydiving experience!!!Connected to your instructor with an average of 2000 skydives, you will experience the 'full skydiving rush'. The best and safest way to experience your 1st skydive either as a once-off 'roller coaster' ride or an introductory skydive before doing the 1st jump course.
The instructor will brief you on aircraft drills, exit procedures, freefall body position and any other neccesary information before the jump.
You will have the opportunity to pull the ripcord to open the parachute and steer the parachute before the instructor takes over to ensure a safe, soft landing. A tandem skydive is the perfect one-on-one training session as a confidence builder before doing your first-jump course
STATIC LINE
This is certainly one of the most popular and cheapest ways to learn to skydive by yourself. After a full day's training and weather -permitting you can do your first jump in one day.
After proving your competence and understanding of the day's training to the instructor, you are ready to do your fist jump all by yourself!
A qualified Jumpmaster will hook your static line to the aircraft and despatch you from the plane. Your parachute will open immediately (no freefall time).
This is the longest way to learn to freefall. You will work your way towards your first 3-second freefall after approx 8 static line jumps. From there you will progress according to the PASA freefall progression program until you are a licensed Skydiver after approximately 32 jumps.
ACCELERATED FREE FALL
After a full day's ground school (same as with the static line training), you will exit an aircraft from full altitude with two instructors holding onto you in freefall, giving you in-freefall coaching and being there to assist you until 'pull altitude'.
Although it's a more expensive way of starting, you will progress quicker to skydive on your own.
