Tandem
Skydive Experience with Extreme Sports Cafe in Hawaii.... |
Come
join us in Hawaii and complete a Tandem Skydive Experience..
The
sensation of freefalling is not so much one of falling, but more
like flying. When you exit the plane, the North Shore of Oahu,
Hawaii is below you. On a clear day it is possible to see the
other Hawaiian Islands in freefall. After the canopy opens you
will still be able to see much of Oahu.
"Many
times Diamond Head, Pearl Harbor, Kaena Point and the leeward
coast are in plain view. You will also be able to see majestic
bluffs, valleys, beautiful beaches, whales and other marine life
from your canopy. Tandem jumping provides an obvious advantage
for the adventurous spirit who cannot adequately meet the physical
or proficiency requirements for the Freefall School jumps. By
relying on the Tandem Master's skills, they will still be able
to experience the thrill of skydiving. Your friends can watch
you smile, hoot and holler from our viewing area."
Tandem
skydiving is without question, the safest way to experience
skydiving for the first time. Two people, using one large parachute,
is the way you and your licensed tandem master can enjoy the
thrill of skydiving with just a few minutes of instruction.
Tandem skydiving is restricted to those more than eighteen years
old, and not weighing more than 240 pounds. For those weighing
over 200 pounds but less than 240 pounds an additional $2.00
per pound is charged, and your tandem master must approve each
over weight sky diver. All tandem jumpers must sign our liability
release or waiver form.
As
a tandem passenger you will enjoy great views during the fifteen
minutes flight up to jump altitude. When the plane reaches jump
altitude, your tandem master will secure you to their gear.
Together you will exit the aircraft and reach speeds of 120mph,
without worrying about getting a ticket for speeding! Your freefall
will be thrilling; remember to keep your eyes open!
Why
do a Tandem Skydive in Hawaii?
People
have many different reasons for skydiving, including, but not
limited to: wanting to experience the rush and excitement, participating
in a totally different sport, wanting to feel the hard air during
free fall, and stress reduction. While each person's reason
for skydiving may differ, the general feeling on landing is
euphoric, having just had more fun and excitement than is generally
experienced in a month of Sundays. As Hawaii's oldest and largest
sky diving center, Skydive Hawaii gives you the best instructors
and more daily tandem jumps, not to mention that North Shore
view!

What
happens on a Tandem Skydive?
After some brief but comprehensive ground
training you will be taken to altitude in a plane (typically 12,000
feet) and strapped to the chest of a fully qualified Tandem Master.
Both Tandem Master and you will leap from the plane accompanied
by a skydiving cameraman. The 45 second freefall allows you to
experience skydiving and the opportunity to interact with the
cameraman. It will also change you forever!
Safely back on the ground after your Tandem Skydive and having
had a chance to reflect on the skydive during a canopy ride back
to the dropzone you will get to relive your Tandem Skydive experience
with a *video of the whole thing from top to bottom!
Perhaps
later you will take the next step... and become a skydiver!
A
Tandem Jump is not Extreme enough for you.... Why not try an Introduction
to Free Fall?
Hey...
I am thinking about AFF and want a bit more...
Or... I want more than just a Tandem....
Why not try an IFF
in Thailand, or Spain? Do a Tandem Jump as well as
your first 'Solo Skydive' for £350!
You can take the stuff you learn and carry it over to a full AFF
too... |
