Tandem Skydive
Here at Thai Sky Adventures, we offer a number of methods to complete one of life's most memorable experiences – a skydive.
The easiest and safest way to make that big leap is by Tandem.
In this method, you are attached to a highly experienced instructor using a dual harness/single container parachute designed for two.
The great thing about this method is that you are never alone during your whole adventure.

Your experience begins with a short training course designed to familiarize you with the equipment, exit, body position, canopy and landing techniques. You are then matched up with your instructor who will fit you a harness designed to attach to the instructors harness. When your name comes up on the manifest, you and your instructor will take a 20 minute scenic ride to 13,000 feet then freefall at 120 miles per hour for approximately 60 seconds opening your parachute 5,000 feet above the ground.
Once you've regained your composure (and your breath), you get a 5 to 7 minute canopy ride enjoying a birds eye view of the world around you My favourite question at this point is, “So how do you like my office window?” If you'd like, you can assist the instructor flying the parachute and together you will fly back to the ground for a soft landing.
There is another way to get that first jump in – accelerated freefall (AFF). This method is designed for the individual who knows that he/she wants to become a licensed skydiver. We offer two methods of obtaining this goal. One method is the traditional AFF program and the other is an extension of the method covered above. So if you get the bug, the previous jump isn\'t a loss. This is called the Tandem/AFF progression program which combines the advantages of Tandem and AFF together.
The best method of preserving any of these experiences to enjoy in the years to come and to it share it with your family and friends is with air-to-air video. |
