Tandem
skydiving
is an exiting way to experience your first freefall jump and
parachute ride. You are securely fastened to your tandem instructor
in a dual harness, and because everything is controlled by your
instructor only a 10 minute briefing is required.
The
Tandem
Master is in control of the skydive at all times and may let you
steer the parachute if it is appropriate at the time. The flight
takes around 20 minutes, the spectacular scenic views before you
leave the plane are all part of this exhilarating experience.
When you
are in
freefall feel free to yahooo as you reach speeds of 200kph! The
parachute ride can be a wild ride with exciting spiral turns or a
gentle scenic flight. Whichever you prefer. Freefall is maintained
for approximately 35 seconds before the parachute is deployed at
5000ft and approximately five minutes of parachute flight time is
achieved. Your tandem instructor will steer the parachute in for a
soft touchdown at the landing area.
All
tandem
riders with Skydive Waikato are eligible for a $10 discount on one of
our Static Line courses, should they decide to try that at a later
date! There is a weight limit of 95kgs. Almost anyone can do a tandem
skydive, although if you are under 16 years of age you will need
parental consent. We will supply all the equipment you need including
the jumpsuit. Please wear comfortable clothing and sandshoes.
