Perfect for first time jumpers, an introductory tandem skydive is a quick and easy way of experiencing the thrill of freefall without the time and effort required for learning all the theory. It’s also a ridiculous amount of fun.
On a tandem skydive, you are strapped to a Tandem Instructor with a special harness that’s attached to a state of the art parachute large enough to support both of you. After only 15 minutes of ground briefing you will enjoy a spectacular aircraft ride to 10,000ft above ground level, experiencing the finest views of the West Coast, Cape Town, Robben Island and Table Mountain.
Then it's action time! Out the door for a 120mph/ 200kph freefall for about 35 seconds. Your Tandem Instructor opens the parachute at about 5000ft, and a peaceful 5 minute parachute ride to the ground follows where you may be able to assist in steering the parachute.
If you’d like to capture this experience, your Tandem Instructor can film your skydive by means of cameras attached to his wrist.
After the Tandem skydive we can give you more information on how to continue your training with the aim of becoming a qualified skydiver.
