Tandem Jump
A Fall for Two
You only feel true freedom on a tandem skydive. Tandem jumping is the fastest, simplest way to dive into the world of skydiving.
"Let yourself fall."
How It Works
Your Tandem Jump, Step by Step

- 01
Sign-up & Instructor Assignment
Once you've signed up, you'll be assigned your tandem instructor.
- 02
Briefing
You'll go through the climb, exit and free-fall position, canopy flight and landing together; once you're kitted out, you're ready to go.
- 03
Climb
You board the aircraft, which climbs to a jump altitude of roughly 3,000–4,000 metres. The climb takes about 20–25 minutes.
- 04
Final Preparation
Your tandem instructor prepares the exit and gives you the last instructions. The pilot gives the signal once the drop point is reached.
- 05
The Exit
The door opens, and one tandem pair after another jumps out. Now it's your turn.
- 06
Free Fall
For roughly 35–50 seconds of free fall at around 200 km/h, your tandem instructor opens the canopy at about 1,500 metres above the ground.
- 07
Canopy Flight
During the roughly 5–7 minute glide, you ease gently back down toward the earth.
- 08
Landing
Just before touchdown you lift your legs; your tandem instructor brakes the canopy, and you land softly.
- 09
Certificate & Congratulations
To finish, you receive your personal free-fall certificate as a keepsake. Congratulations!
