The Experience
Experience this Golden Moments parachuting without the fuss of an intensive course. After a short briefing you will be ready to take to the skies at altitudes up to 13,000 feet depending on weather and local air traffic control restrictions. Training is run throughout the day and students are strapped to the front of a Tandem instructor who is there to control the entire skydive for you.
Once you exit the aeroplane you will accelerate to 120 mph, covering each thousand feet in approximately 5 seconds. At 5,000 feet the instructor will deploy the square parachute which will then be controlled by both persons until you land softly and gently some four minutes later.
This Golden Moments experience is the best gift to celebrate your special occasions.
