What to expect
You'll start with ground training covering safety and body position, then board the plane for a climb to your chosen altitude. The door opens, you step out strapped to your instructor, and for 60 seconds you're falling at terminal velocity with the coast spreading below. The parachute opens smoothly and you'll float down together, taking in views of the islands and coastline for 5-7 minutes before touching down on sand. The whole experience runs 2 hours from arrival to certificate handover.
