Skydive Durban
Abstract: TANDEM SKYDIVING - THE THRILL OF A LIFETIME
Description:
Welcome to Skydive Durban! Situated on the
sub tropic North Coast of Kwazulu Natal, Skydive Durban
offers a sea level drop zone for all year round excitement.
Do I need training before doing a tandem skydive?
No, on arrival at the Drop Zone you will receive a 15 minute
briefing during which the equipment, aircraft and freefall
drills as well as the landing procedure will be explained
to you.
How do I get a taste of this?
After the briefing session, you will be taken up to 9500
ft above the airfield in an aircraft and strapped to the
front of a Tandem Master skydiving instructor.
You will exit the aircraft and fall towards the planet
earth for 30 to 35 seconds. During this time you will see
the cameraman flying in front of you and feel the air rushing
past you at almost 200 KPH.
The Tandem Master will then have you deploy the parachute
after which you will float slowly down to earth while you
will be allowed to take control and steer the canopy for
a while. Your instructor will perform the soft and safe
landing and you will walk away with a smile that will remain
with you for some time.
How long does the whole experience take?
About 1 Hour 20 Minutes.
Are there any weight restrictions?
Maximum weight 110 kg’s
Do I need a medical certificate?

with your doctor first.
Do I need to book and how far in advance?
