With the tandem skydive, an experienced skydiving instructor will handles all the technical details of your skydive, while you enjoy one of the most extraordinary experiences of your life, the first jump!
The tandem system is a parachute designed for two people, one pilot and one passenger. Our tandem pilots have the most advanced experience in the skydiving world.
Our aircraft's will take you to an altitude of more than 4 kilometers (more than 12000 feet) for your first skydive! From that altitude you and your instructor will free-fall almost 2km at a speed of 200 km/h for almost 55 seconds. After the free-fall experience, the instructor will open a specially designed parachute that will allow you to fly for almost 5 minutes and during all that time you can relax and admire the beautiful places of Québec from the area of Laurentides or Mauricie.
Your instructor will safely fly you to the landing area, where you will get back to earth with a soft landing. You can also steer the parachute with the agreement of the instructor.
