Tandem Skydive
Go for it! Experience a jump from 10.000 feet (approximately 3.000 meters). Enjoy a 25 minutes flight over the magnificent East coast (Belle Mare, Poste Lafayette, Roches Noires, Poudre d’Or). Followed by a 30 seconds free-fall nearing 200Km/h and a canopy descent of approximately 5 minutes. The landscape underneath will leave you speechless. You will be left with colourful and vivid memories together with an immense joy that only the following words could translate: YES, I DID IT!
Skydive Austral is the easiest and safest way to make your first skydive. A soon as you arrive, our instructors will give you a total introduction to skydiving from the ground up. Attached securely to one of our qualified and licensed tandem instructors via a dual harness system, we can have you in the air after a 15 minutes training session on exiting the aircraft and freefall body position.
After the parachute opening, you will have a 5 to 7 minute parachute ride where you will be able to help the instructor steer the parachute, under his close supervision, to the ground for a nice soft landing.
One thing is for sure..! It’s time to get ready for the most extraordinary ride of your life as your first words after landing will be: let’s do it again!
