26-01-2012

freedom, adventure, risk, are the ingredients to experience stunning sights and feel the altitude and the speed of jumping from an airplane. get ready to live one of the most memorable moments of whole your life!


we suggest you to develop a "tandem": a modality designed to allow you to experience freefall skydiving without the complication of doing an intensive course. after only 15 minutes of instruction you will be ready to enjoy a parachute jump with your tandem instructor on your back.

with your colleagues, friends, in couple or alone... this activity will be able to be done in whatever case. you just need courage and choosing one of these destinations to throw yourself:


barcelonain the catalan region of empuriabrava is located a recognised skydiving centre. the experience here will guarantee you professionalism and deep knowledge. after the instructor opens the parachute at 4,000m, you will be able enjoy 5 minutes of flight over the bay of roses. the final landing is made in the same area from where you took off. your friends and family will be waiting to receive you.  
     
canarias: the skydiving centre in gran canarias is a sport club dedicated to promoting sport parachuting in many disciplines. its main target is the safety and the high quality standards of their jumps. the jumping altitudes range from 2,500m to 3,500m. at these altitudes we can reach freefall times between 25 and 50 seconds, opening the main parachute at 1,500m. why not overflying the wonderful scenery of this volcanic island?  
     
toledo: about an hour from madrid we find ocaña, the town which host an important skydiving centre. 4,000 attitude, 200km/h velocity, 60 second of freefalls and 5 minutes of fun and enjoyment. take also the opportunity to discover toledo, the alcázar, the "mazapan" (its traditional sweet), the house of the greco, the cathedral and of course its  wonderful sky.   
     
sevilla: learn to skydive or just experience the fascination of freefall in this sunny region of andalucía, southern spain. they offer a wide number of courses for first-time visitors as well as already experienced skydivers. they fly up to 15,000m, the highest altitude in europe.  

in addition, all of these centres offer the chance to record your heroic deed. a cameraman will follow you filming and/or taking photos in the plane, during your freefall and the landing. prices range can fluctuate between 220 € and 340 € depending on whether you want just the jump, or also photos and/or video.


our advise is:
despite the fear don't forget to smile!
