WHAT IS TANDEM SKYDIVING?
Tandem skydiving is the most popular way to start skydiving.
You will be attached to a tandem instructor who will manage all the equipment during the skydive.

Although your instructor will operate the equipment, you will still have some responsibility. Prior to the jump, you will attend a training where you’ll learn the proper body position for exiting the airplane and freefall. You will also learn the basics of landing.

Tandem skydives are perfect for the first jump. However, it is popular to do multiple tandem skydives. Tandem skydiving is also great for those who want to skydive without learning to do it solo.

There is a classical scheme, according to which 1 parachute jump is performed without the participation of an instructor. The air transport is the An-2, which rises to a height of no more than 800 meters. This is the height regulated by parachuting rules for people who decide to make their first jump on their own.

The parachute used is the D-6 series 4 (variants are possible), better known as round parachutes, which are easy to handle and quite safe for beginners. In any case, before taking to the air, a person undergoes mandatory pre-jump training, which lasts about three hours.
The used round parachutes have the area of the main dome 83 square meters and the area of the reserve 50 square meters. They differ from other models by simplicity of laying and safety.

The above-mentioned height of the first jump was not chosen by chance. It is quite enough to have time to use a backup in case the main one misfires. In addition, at the level of 800 meters the wind is not so strong, and novice athletes are not carried away from the proposed place of landing for tens of kilometers.

At the stages of preparation for an independent jump, instructors pay special attention to landing. The fact is that the speed of the parachute is about five meters per second, by the quality of landing it will be similar to a jump from a height of two meters. In this case, incorrect landing can cause serious injury.

Realization of the first independent jump:
After takeoff, the airplane reaches the specified altitude - the door opens and novice athletes, at the instructor's command, step overboard. After three seconds of free flight, the automatic opening of the dome is triggered. After a few more minutes, after the buzz in the ears has passed and the person is able to orient himself in space, he lands on the ground. In general, the entire jump from the moment of leaving the airplane, consisting of free fall and flying under the parachute in the air, takes about 4 minutes.
Once the novice athlete is back at the start line, he or she is given a certificate of having made an independent jump.
Despite the fact that the height of one independent parachute jump is only 800 meters, it is obligatory to undergo a medical examination before arriving at the starting place. The instructor explains the theory and focuses the attention of novice athletes on some individual details. Including how to behave in flight, what to do in case of unforeseen circumstances and how to properly perform a landing.

The first stage is 800 meters - a height which is quite enough for a beginner to feel the pleasure of flying, but at the same time not to get scared or panic during the jump. This is why the automatic opening system is developed in the design of the parachute. While a person is experiencing new feelings and emotions and learning to navigate in flight, the system performs the most important actions instead of him.

Contraindications

• There are contraindications for skydiving, which should never be neglected, especially if a person, having no experience, is going to jump on his own. First of all it concerns those who suffer from myopia. In this case, glasses should be replaced with lenses. This will avoid injuries when landing.
• If there have been previous injuries to the musculoskeletal system, then it is necessary to jump only with an instructor. People whose weight is more than 90 and less than 45 kilograms can not jump independently.
• In addition, people with blood pressure, middle ear problems, diabetes, epilepsy and those who have a cold at the time of jumping are prohibited from jumping.

Acceptable age - from 14 years of age (with written permission from parents or guardians)

GENERAL
Can I bring my friends to watch?
Sure! Friends and family are welcome to the seating/viewing area where they can enjoy watching you skydiving.

How long is the training?
It takes about 10−15 minutes for the instructor to train you before your first tandem skydiving. Prior to the jump, he/she will repeat the training again.

I’m coming with my friends; can we jump together from the same airplane?
Yes. Smaller groups of 2−3 are usually no problem. With an advance notice, we can organize a jump for larger groups. At this case, you’ll jump together, but you can be asked to split into smaller groups.

REQUIERMENTS
Are there any physical requirements?
As with any sports, the better shape you’re in the easier it will be and the more fun you’ll have. However, we have helped people with different physical disabilities to skydive. If you have any health requirements, call us. We can make your wish to skydive come true!
If you have any medical concerns, please contact your doctor.

How much time will I spend on a dropzone?
For the weekend reservation allow yourself to spend the entire day. The training lasts about 10−15 minutes. After this, the time of waiting for the jump depends on several variables such as weather, if we are busy that day, and when you signed in. Ideally a tandem jump takes about half a day but be prepared to spend the entire day on a dropzone.

PAYMENT
What type of payment do you accept?
Visa, Mastercard, MIR and cash. You can also use your gift certificate.

SKYDIVE
What happens if the parachute doesn’t open?
Although it is highly unlikely that your main parachute won’t open, it does sometimes occur and this is one of the most popular questions. You will be equipped with a reserve parachute as well. In addition, your equipment will include an Automated Activation Device (AAD), which will automatically open the reserve parachute if the instructor will be unable to do it.

Which type of parachute is used?
The type of parachute we use today has a little in common with round parachutes from the past. They are rectangular in shape and their principle of operation is similar to that of an airplane wing. They are more like gliders than umbrellas. The aerodynamics of the parachute provides it with higher maneuverability, allowing the skydiver to land almost anywhere he/she wishes. The wing shape also allows to land softly.

What is the landing like?
Mostly it is quite soft, as the skydivers do the soft sliding sit-down landing. Under certain conditions at the discretion of the instructor, some people make a stand-up landing.

How fast will I fall?
The average person falls approximately 40 m per second.

How long will it take to skydive?
Up to 40 seconds in freefall and then about 5 minutes in canopy.

How does it feel to skydive?
Is it possible to describe it?
No!
It is beyond the rational.

Fear, anxiety, thrill are normal for all people – those who pretend not to be afraid, as well as those who face it openly. However, if you pluck up the courage, trust your instructor, and stop thinking for a second – you’ll feel something that is beyond the control of physics!
Adrenaline? Euphoria? Weightlessness? Of course, no!

Freedom. Purity. Confidence. It is unique for everybody.

I repeat: it is beyond the rational.

Is it save?
Skydiving is a kind of extreme sport. It brings some risks which requires careful training and execution from a skydiver. Failure to concentrate on a training can lead to serious injures and death. Skydiving is as safe as a skydiver makes it. The equipment was sufficiently developed since the times of round parachutes, so, when used properly, skydiving can be one of the safest extreme sports.

1) Dear friends, we are doing everything that is possible to make your skydive unforgettable and exciting. We use modern action cameras with additional stabilization and enhanced color reproduction for this purpose.

Our goal is to provide a client with media files that can be proudly shared in social media.
Many aircrafts download all drafts on the client’s flash drive or phone. However, it takes time and energy for an instructor to wait for the loading. Besides, drafts require editing, so the client needs to have time and relevant skills. Usually, these files are not in demand.

What we are doing to our clients:
· A finished edited video that show your moment of glory. It is edited with music without copyright, so you won’t have any troubles;
· Edited photos of your jump.
How we transfer the media files:
When registering, client indicates the phone number and email. He/she also chooses one of the options: to get a link to a cloud that contains all media files, or to get the files on email/phone.
Video processing takes up to 7 days, but we try to finish it as soon as possible.

Can we get one video for the whole group?
Unfortunately, no. Due to the time/distance difference between jumpers the operator cannot film more than one person at a time.

Can I get photos or a video of my jump?
Yes. We can provide you with the videos that have been edited to music and include a pre-jump interview. We can also provide the high-quality photos of your jump.

Can I bring my camera?
No, it is against current laws. You also won’t have time to look after your camera. Besides, we cannot risk dropping it while skydiving itself.

Attention!
If you haven’t got your video on time, please check in the spam folder. It is a common problem, especially if you use gmail address. If you still can’t find the video, please contact us and tell the time of your jump. We’ll figure it out. Videos are stored for a calendar year.
