Tandem Skydive Experience Skydive Mauritius

Capture your adrenalin fuelled Mauritius sky diving adventure amidst breathtaking sea scenery on DVD. SkyDive Mauritius offer a number of digital photography and DVD options that will allow you to re-live your Mauritius skydiving experience with family and friends whenever you choose. Your Freefall or Handi-Cam DVD’s are edited within 20 minutes of your landing & ready to watch and take away.

  • Can we all be filmed at the same time? No, sorry, it is impossible to film more than one person in freefall. Our camera flyers are good but you’d have to be faster than a speeding bullet to fly between two tandems falling at terminal velocity. We are very happy to film 2 people on the ground and in the plane. It is best that each person has their own video.


DVD & Photos Package - This package is your own personal camera flyer to record your complete Mauritius skydiving experience. 

  • This includes walking out to our Cessna 182 aircraft, shots of the incredible Mauritius scenery, your skydive exit, your massive freefall smile, parachute opening and landing. The digital quality footage will be edited onto a DVD with a funky soundtrack. We will also take over 40+ digital freefall pictures, which we put on a CD – exactly how BIG was your SMILE?


Handi-Cam DVD - Your experienced tandem skydiving instructor will capture the rush of freefall, the stunning Mauritius scenery and parachute flight on a hand mounted digital video camera.

  • The camera is mounted in a glove on the back of your tandem skydiving instructor’s hand. With an ultra wide angle lens it records a great view of your smiling face in freefall and the ride under canopy.

Skydive Mauritius faq Weather conditions

The weather in Mauritius is usually pretty good. SkyDive Mauritius is famous for clear sunny days, there are clouds but they do not hang around for long. Remember it is always best to book in advance rather than wait to see what the day holds, there is no skydiving if the weather conditions are not favourable.

What if the weather is bad?

  • It is simple, there is no jumping if the weather is not good. If you are not able to skydive at your booked time the DZ will re-book you in for later that day or the following day depending on the weather and your schedule. We advise you to be flexible around the time of your jump just in case the weather is not favourable.

What sort of weather effects tandem skydiving?

  • Tandem skydiving is very weather dependent and cannot be undertaken in strong winds, or if there is complete cloud cover. Mauritius weather can often change quickly, so we ask that you call the DZ 1 hour before your jump time, to confirm conditions are suitable for sky diving.

Skydiving Mauritius Tandem Skydiving

SkyDive Mauritius do take dropping out of the sky seriously but they are also serious about people having fun while they challenge themselves to a tandem skydive. Lots of FUN with SAFETY is a big part of the Skydiving Mauritius experience.

  • We do appreciate the frustration that delays can bring but please be assured that our primary responsibility is for the safety of all jumpers. In the event of you being unable to make your jump on your scheduled day due to weather or technical issues the DZ will re-schedule an alternative date with you.

Skydiving Certification - National parachuting associations exist in many countries, many affiliated with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI), to promote their sport. In most cases, national representative bodies, as well as prudent local dropzone operators, require that participants carry certification, attesting to their training, their level of experience in the sport, and their proven competence. Anyone who cannot produce such bona-fides is treated as a student, requiring close supervision. Skydiving Certification - All Extreme Sports Cafe Skydiving Courses follow the relevant skydiving guidelines set by the governing body for the relevant area/country. The USPA (United States Parachute Association) and The BPA (British Parachute Association) are 2 of the most common skydiving bodies, issued certifications and affiliated centers found all over the world.

From the Author - Parachuting / Skydiving is continuously growing & evolving.

Dan Poynter and I have attempted to bring to you, the reader (novice or experienced), the latest information available which covers many aspects of the sport. It is our hope that this book will be used by you as a tool to increase your learning about the sport. We have addressed several training and controversial issues openly and honestly, attempting to give full merit to both (or more) viewpoints when more than one right answer is available. This book is a "living document" and will continue to change as the sport changes and grows. Each successive issue (from the very first one that I used to study the sport over 21 years ago) has been written with that philosophy in mind; one of continuous improvement.

We hope you like the book, and if you can think of anything else to add, please feel free to contact one of us with your suggestions! Blue, Clear, and Calm Skies to y'all.
