What is tandem skydiving?
Tandem skydiving is the most common and most accessible way to experience skydiving for the first time. It is a jump in which the participant is securely attached to an experienced, internationally licensed instructor. This means you don’t need any prior knowledge, as the instructor manages the entire procedure—from exiting the aircraft, through freefall and parachute deployment, all the way to a safe landing.
A tandem jump is designed so you can safely taste the sensations of freefall from several thousand meters without dealing with technical procedures yourself. The instructor takes care of all key elements, and you can focus entirely on the experience. During the jump you’ll feel several dozen seconds of freefall at about 200 km/h, then enjoy a relaxed glide under the open canopy as the pace eases and you can calmly take in the views.
Because it is a pre-structured experience, a tandem jump suits almost everyone—regardless of age or fitness level—provided basic safety limits are observed. That’s why it is one of the most popular adrenaline activities: it combines safety, simplicity, and an unforgettable experience you’ll remember for a long time.
