If you've decided to dive (literally!) into this adventure, there are some key things you should know to best prepare yourself before your launch.
What is Tandem Skydiving?
Tandem skydiving is the most popular option for first-time skydivers. As the term suggests, it's a shared experience between two people: you, the passenger, and a professional instructor.
During the launch:
- Safety harnessYou will be connected to the instructor via a harness fixed at four strategic points: two on the shoulders and two on the hips.
- Pre-launch preparationYou will receive a full briefing before the jump, which will explain the correct positions for exiting the plane, freefalling, and landing.
- Constant guidanceDuring the flight, the instructor will take care of every technical aspect, but you will have to follow the instructions carefully to get the most out of the experience.
Thanks to the expert guidance of an instructor, tandem skydiving is accessible even to beginners, making it the safest and easiest way to experience the sensation of flight.
Why Choose Tandem Skydiving?
Tandem skydiving is the perfect way to experience the adrenaline rush of flight without worrying about the technical aspects. With an experienced instructor by your side, you can enjoy the free fall and breathtaking views without a care in the world. Whether you're doing it to overcome a fear, celebrate a special event, or simply try something new, this is a life-changing experience.
