Activity description
Enjoy a thrilling tandem skydive with a certified and experienced instructor near Paris!
You'll meet at the airport of Nevers, where once you've completed all the necessary paperwork you'll be introduced to your instructor. You will then be equipped with a harness with fours hooks that will safely attach you to your instructor; one hook has the capacity of carrying a tonne – so unless you weigh more than 4 tonnes, you have absolutely nothing to worry about!
You'll have a quick brief about the security regulations and will then make your way to the plane. During the 15-minute flight, you will enjoy a bird’s eye view of all the breath-taking scenery beneath you. You’ll then get ready to jump at an altitude of 4000 meters.
You jump when your instructor says GO! With your adrenaline soaring at a maximum, you’ll free- fall for about 50 seconds at 200 km/h. The beauty of tandem flights - all you have to do is sit back and relax, your instructor will open the parachute for you.
Once your parachute is open you’ll experience a sudden calm – you did it and you’ll probably want to do it again! But for now, all you have to do is take in the spectacular surroundings of la Loire. Your instructor will guide you will a few instructions enabling you to pilot the parachute by yourself. He’ll eventually take control to execute a gentle landing close to your family and friends.
