On the day, you’ll receive thorough ground-training from a tandem master to prepare you for your fall to earth. Board your plane and when it’s time to jump, you’ll be strapped securely to your tandem instructor before you exit the aircraft at 13,000ft. Experience an exhilarating freefall of over 40 seconds before your instructor deploys the main parachute and together you steer your way back to the drop zone for a gentle, controlled landing.
