Tandem
skydiving is an excellent introduction to the sport of
skydiving as it is the quickest and easiest way to make a
skydive jump and most of it is hassle free! After jumping from the airc
raft you will experience the buzz of free falling at 120mph followed by a long canopy ride back down to the ground while being firmly attached to a fully qualified instructor.
The
skydiving session will start with meeting your instructor for the jump who will take you through a full safety briefing and ground training. During this briefing, you will be shown the equipment that you are going to use, airc
raft orientation, what to expect from freefall and importantly the position to adopt for landing. After being kitted out in all the necessary
skydiving gear and safety gear, it is time to head out to the airc
raft and begin the 20-minute flight up to 10,000 feet from where you will make your jump, why not enjoy the stunning Welsh landscape to calm those last minute jitters.
At 10,000 feet it is time to make your tandem skydive,after leaving the airc
raft, you will experience approximately 40 seconds of freefall during which you will be travelling at speeds of up to 120mph and at approximately 5000 feet, your parachute will be launched and you will soar back down to earth The tandem parachutes are dual controlled so if you wish you can take control of the parachute and spiral your way through they sky being guided by your instructor. After approximately 5 minutes it is time to get your head out of the clouds and get your feet back on firm ground and the instructor will take full control of the landing.
To remember your
skydiving experience you will be presented with a certificate of achievement.
