Question

Tell me more about tandem sky diving ?

Answer 1

Your back gets strapped to the belly of an experienced diver and you go out of the plane together.  They pull the cord and you land together.  It's good for a first time.

Answer 2

It takes a certain kind of person to jump from an aircraft at 15000ft into thin air.  It takes courage.  Harnessed by space age materials to an experienced qualified Jumpmaster, you step out that aircraft door and for some 60 seconds you plummet towards the ground at 200KPH, Terminal Velocity.  The Jumpmaster will deploy the reinforced tandem canopy controlling your entire skydive.



Expect sensory overload as your mind/soul/body fight against every natural self preservatory urge.





15000ft = “Achievement doesn’t come sweeter.”

JUMP ALTITUDE FREEFALL            HEART RATE        PRICE

15000 feet 60 seconds     NZ$395.00



12000 feet 45 seconds    NZ$295.00

9000 feet 30 seconds   NZ$245.00

The personal challenge is immense.  Immense, because the only thing preventing you from enjoying this, one of the most primal life shaping experiences, is your own mind.  You must choose.  To go through life able to say ’yes, I did it’, or to go through life knowing that you had the opportunity, but you turned it down and walked away from becoming the complete person you could have been.

Answer 3

A tandem skydive is the simplest introduction into the sport of parachuting and skydiving. It is a Skydive because you freefall through the air (without the parachute deployed) for several thousand feet, it is in tandem because you are harnessed to a professional parachute instructor at all times throughout the descent. This is the only way you can jump from such an altitude without spending thousands of rupees becoming a freefall parachutist. This is literally the chance of a lifetime!
