WHAT HAPPENS ON THE TANDEM SKYDIVING COURSE

When you buy your tandem skydive voucher and choose the jump date, you will be given an arrival time by email. The time mentioned in your booking confirmation email is your arrival time, it is not your skydive time. If you selected a slot of 10:00 am, please arrive at 10:00 am. Additionally, please plan to spend between three to four hours (i.e. from the time you check-in till the time you complete your skydive), at our location on the day of your skydive.

Once you arrive on-site, you need to register with our reception. A valid photo ID (driver’s license, state ID, or passport) is required to sign up for the class.
During a short briefing, your instructor will explain everything you need to know about your skydiving experience.
Your instructor will kit you in a jumpsuit and special dual harness when it’s your time to jump. You will also be given goggles.
Once you have boarded the aircraft, it takes approximately 15 minutes to reach skydiving altitude and you’ll be 4000 m above the airfield.
After leaping from the open door you’ll experience up to one minute of free-fall and approx. five minutes on the parachute.

Duration: Your skydiving experience ideally takes only a few hours; on a weekend you should expect to be with us for at least 3-4 hours. However, we cannot account for weather or other delays so please do not be in a rush and allow yourself all the time needed to enjoy this unique experience.

Requirements and restrictions: All jumpers are required to complete a health and safety form to confirm they are fit and able to jump.
The minimum age is 16. Under 18’s require a notarized letter of consent from a parent or guardian. If you are 70 years old or older on the day you skydive, please email us for the Declaration of Fitness form prior to your arrival at our location. The form must be completed and must be signed and stamped by your doctor.

Maximum weight limits are 100kg; maximum BMI (body mass index) for men is 30.00 and for women 27,5. Please note, our staff will weigh you (with your shoes and clothes on) when you check in on the day of your skydive. We require each tandem customer to meet both, the weight and BMI requirements listed above. These are the equipment’s manufacturer’s requirements and we cannot make any exceptions for safety reasons.

If you suffer from or have previously suffered from any of the conditions listed (diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, disease of nervous system, epilepsy, fits, dislocated shoulder or other limbs (s), severe head injury, lung disease, disease of the brain, blackouts, mental illness, drug or alcohol addiction and any past or present medical conditions), please email us for the Declaration of Fitness form prior to your arrival at our location. The form must be completed and must be signed and stamped by your doctor. This is essential for both your safety and the safety of your instructor.
If you are pregnant you should not skydive.

Please avoid scuba diving a minimum of 24 hours prior to your skydive.

Athletic, comfortable clothes are advised; t-shirts must have sleeves; wear trainers (NO hard boots, no flip-flops or sandals) and bring a sweater as it can get cold on the airfield. A jumpsuit and goggles will be provided.
Please remove any jewelry, watches, and other accessories before your skydive.

We have a zero-tolerance alcohol and drugs policy. There must be no alcohol or drugs in your system 24 hours before your skydive. If you will under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, you will be refused to jump and you will forfeit your voucher.

Our camera flyers are highly trained and use the latest equipment; the camera equipment does (on rare occasions) malfunction or there is a technical glitch that is beyond our control. In this case, you are eligible for a refund of 90 EUR.

Reservation: In order to reserve a spot, you need to pay a deposit of 50 € per person. This deposit is non-refundable.

Please note that the remaining balance is to be paid in full before the course, in cash or by credit card.

Accommodation: We can arrange a suitable accommodation for you; please contact us if you would like us to do so.

Terms and conditions: If you are unable to jump on the agreed date, please email us at info@ernestogainza.com at least 24 hours prior to your reservation to reschedule. Your voucher will be held for up to one year to reschedule your reservation. If you do not contact us prior to the day of your reservation or do not show up, you will forfeit your voucher.

If you go through the class and decide not to jump, you can still reschedule your skydive. Once you have boarded the plane, but decided not to jump, you will forfeit your voucher.

Weather: Skydiving is a weather-dependent sport. Strong winds, rain, poor visibility, and low clouds, are just some of the reasons that can delay, or even cancel our skydiving operations. Your reservation can be rescheduled to another date or the voucher transferred to another person.

Vouchers are valid for one year and are NON-REFUNDABLE.
