Tandem Skydiving
A once in a lifetime experience.
If you’re just after that once-off thrill of a lifetime, or you’re not quite sure yet whether this skydiving thing is for you, then a tandem jump is what you want to try.
The Process
No comprehensive ground school is required for a tandem skydive. A Tandem Master will brief you on the do’s and don’ts prior to the jump. You will be told what to expect and how to get the most from your tandem experience.
Getting Ready
No comprehensive ground school is required for a tandem skydive. A Tandem Master will brief you on the do’s and don’ts prior to the jump. You will be told what to expect and how to get the most from your tandem experience. You will wear a strong passenger harness, with which you will be securely connected to the front of a highly qualified Tandem Master.
The Jump
The two of you will exit the aircraft at 11000ft AGL and freefall at 200kph down to 5000ft AGL. During this freefall, no verbal communication is possible between passenger and Tandem Master, due to wind noise. The freefall will feel like you are suspended on a thick cushion of air it will almost feel as if you are freefalling by yourself as you will be weightless.
The Parachute Descent
After 40 seconds of falling straight down at 200km/h, the Tandem Master will deploy the main parachute at an altitude of approximately 5000ft AGL. As the two of you drift gently down to earth, you will be able to talk to each other, enjoy the ride and the magnificent view. The canopy ride down to earth will last around 5-8 minutes, after which you will touch down gently in front of the club house.
Capture Your Experience
There are various video options available to book to capture your experience.
All camera options are professionally edited on the day for you to take home with you.
The Deluxe Option
This option includes both the Handcam and External camera flyer option including photo’s. Both sets of footage is edited into one video of your entire experience.
External Camera
An experienced camera flyer will accompany you on your skydive and film the entire skydive from exit to landing. They also include high resolution photographs for you which you can print for your home or post on your social media pages.
Handcam
This is where the Tandem Master wears a camera on their hand to capture the freefall and canopy ride.

The solo skydiving training is also known as PFF (Progressive Free Fall), AFF (Accerelated Free Fall) or simply SOLO skydiving training. This learning method makes you discover the world of freefall. If you have successfully completed a tandem skydiving jump or a DAI (Instructor Assisted Deployment) jump, you are eligible
for this training program.
Advanced Training
Minimum age of 16 years.
Those under 18 must have parental consent either by
a notarised signature on our Skydive Spain membership
form and fitness form.
OR the parent must come on the day of the jump
and sign the forms in person with their ID to support it.
Become
an instructor
The instructor is properly licenced and this licence includes Third Party Liability insurance which covers him/her and his/her passenger in the case of negligence. Therefore in the case of any injury that would require medical attention the passenger would cover the costs until responsibility is established. If the passenger requires additional coverage they can become a member of Federación Andaluza de Deportes Aéreos (FEADA) for an additional cost.
Tandem Skydiving Questions
You need to be 16 years old with parental consent and 18 years without parental consent.
We can take younger children for a skydive. It is quite an overwhelming experience for them, so they would need to be prepared for the jump. They are all different, so it is best to have a discussion with the manifest officer, or come check out the dropzone with them to assess their mental capacity for the experience.
Yes. We have a legal weight restriction of 100kg’s fully clothed. This is a non-negotiable weight limit.
Since sport skydiving requires both mental and physical fitness, even the slightest physical defect can post a safety threat. A qualified medical practitioner’s note is required, stating that the students physical or mental defect will not interfere with their safety during a skydive. The Chief Instructor can overrule the note from a medical practitioner.
Yes absolutely! A certificate is issued after your first jump.
Yes, bookings are essential. You can book online here, or email tandems@jsc.co.za or call 083 759 3483 to make your booking.
Comfortable clothing and closed shoes are required. Running or skater shoes are perfect.
