Everything you need to know to prepare for your jump.

★ 4.8/5 on Google

Yes: 95 kg maximum.

How do I book the date of my jump?

Already have your pass or gift voucher? Book your own date online on the Book my date page, with your order (or pass) number and your email: every free place is shown. You can also call us on +33 6 03 97 24 06. For training courses, the date is set with us by phone.

How long is the gift voucher valid?

One year. It can be extended before it expires: see our terms and conditions of sale.

What time should I arrive?

The time given is the time you must be on site. Allow 2 to 3 hours on site.

Can I bring friends or family?

Yes, we welcome the people who come with you: they can enjoy your jump as spectators.

What happens if the weather is bad?

You receive a message cancelling the appointment. Then simply contact us again to reschedule your jump.

How does a tandem jump work?

Allow 10 minutes of paperwork and then 10 minutes of training. The plane takes 15 to 25 minutes to climb, freefall lasts 35 to 40 seconds, then 3 to 5 minutes under canopy. Your instructor can let you steer if you wish.

What should I wear?

Casual clothes: jeans and a sweatshirt or a tracksuit are fine. Choose low shoes; high-top shoes are not recommended and shoes with metal hooks are not allowed. If you wear glasses, we lend you goggles to go over them.

How should I prepare?

Get a good night's sleep and eat normally. Alcohol and drugs are strictly forbidden before the jump: the instructor will refuse to take you and the jump will be considered used.

Can friends fly in the same plane?

Yes, you can go up two at a time. For more people, the plane makes several flights: allow about 30 minutes per flight.

Can the people with me ride in the plane?

No. Skydiving is classed as aerial work, not passenger transport: the insurance only covers the skydivers.

Am I insured?

Yes. For tandem jumps, insurance is included in the price. For courses, the French Parachuting Federation licence includes insurance.

Is skydiving dangerous?

Done properly, a skydive is less dangerous than driving a car. Our equipment is maintained in an approved workshop, our parachutes are replaced regularly, and every parachute has a system that opens the reserve canopy if needed.

Are the instructors qualified?

Yes, all our instructors hold French state qualifications and each has several thousand jumps.

Will I feel dizzy?

No. Vertigo happens when you keep visual contact with the ground, like on a cliff or a balcony. In a plane and under a parachute, that contact disappears.

What is the landing like?

The parachute is shaped like a wing and is easy to steer. Tandem parachutes are large, which allows soft landings.

Can the video option film two people?

You can be filmed together before the jump. But in freefall, only one person can be filmed: the two jumps are spaced about 500 m apart for safety.
