Do you have any Z1 skydiving helmets?

  • There are several of us, can we jump together?
    You can plan to live this experience with your friends,in a group BUT although the training,briefing,and the flight can be done in small groups, WHEN YOU EXIT THE AIRCRAFT, for obvious safety reasons, each beginner is taken care of by his/he own instructor, with the tandem jump, 1 student = 1 instructor. It is strictly forbidden as it would be highly dangerous that two student jump at the same time ...(this practice exist in bungee jumping but is totally impossible in skydiving). Althought it seems obvious (you need to be experienced to stabilize the aircraft exit, open the parachute and to land...) some people insist to do it this way which is impossible obviously.The important part, you'll notice it, is to share the emotions before and afterwards... What you live during your jump is always heady, exciting and finally rather personnal in a discovery jump.

  • Do I need a medical form ?
    No medical form is needed from those aged 16 to 39. Applicants aged 40 and over should request a British Parachute Associate Medical Certificate for completion by their doctor before their course. Before 40 years old, no medifical certificate is required.In some centres aswell,those wishing to carry out a tandem parachute jump over the age of 60 will be assessed on the day by a tandem instructor. It will be the tandem instructor’s decision to carry out the jump. If, in the opinion of the tandem instructor, the passenger is too frail the jump will not go ahead - even if the tandem student has a certificate signed by the doctor.
