About us

Quick guide on your Tandem Skydive experience!
1. How does this sky-high adventure begin?
Your incredible adventure starts with a short intro to the basics of parachuting and geeting all the info on the course of the jump, as well as geeting to know us, the people how will lead your way all the way across the sky. We want you to feel comfortable, trust us and feel safe while „not feeling safe“.
In about 15 minutes we will prepare you for your skydive. Under the supervision of our experienced and specially certified instructors, you can be really be carefree - we take care of you throughout the jump.
2. First things first!
The first step towards the jump is getting to know the team and filling the accession. After that, one of our instructors starts to prepare you for the tandem jump. You get our team jumpsuit, a helmet and goggles and the instructor puts on the system connection. After another quick briefing for the jump, you are ready to go.
Just one more thing before geeting on the plane – say a few words to the camera. If you want, we'll give you and felt-tip pen to put a message on your palms for everyone who will see your skydiving afterwards.
3. Take off & flight
After the boarding we fly high, enjoying the view and feeling the rush of what's to come. To the clouds and back, we will fly on our Cessna 182 Delta-Tango-Delta, a plane specially adapted for parachuting activities. You will be able to enjoy the panoramic flight for approximately 20 minutes. After that, time will start to go faster.
Your instructor will tie you to himself, give you a few more instructions and then the gates of heaven, that is – gates of the plane, will open.
4. You are ready to jump!
Sure, it is easy for us to say, but knowing that your tandem instructor is an experienced athlete and a professional who has had thousand jumps and hundreds of passengers, should provide a feeling of safety. Everything you need to do now is to listen to your instructor and dive in to an unforgettable, totally inspiring and very liberating experience of you first tandem jump!
You and the instructor, tied together as Siamese twins, jump from the plane.
5. The Freefall
You start falling through the sky. No words to describe this experience.
The free fall lasts about from 20 to 50 seconds, depending on the height from which the jump was made.
After the free fall, comes the „controlled fall“, that is, the instructor opens up the parachute and you enjoy floating in the sky for about 10 minutes. The instructor will even give you the opportunity to manage the parachute, do turns and simply – have a blast! So, enjoy the view, goof around, get all crazy for the camera...
6. The landing & aftermath
After the instructor provides a soft landing, we congratulate you on an excellently performed tandem skydibe and deliver your diploma for your successful first parachute tandem skydive jump!

WHY CHOOSE MAX FREE FALL OPTION
E pa ovako, da vam nebi prodavali maglu, ovdje vrijedi ona stara narodna od viška (slobodnog pada) glava ne boli! 🙂
No dobro da nebi sve ostalo na narodnoj poslovici evo vam par činjenica u svezi opcije MAX SLOBODAN PAD
1. Prvi razlog je vrlo jednostavan, kod standardnog skoka imate do 30 sekundi slobodnog pada, sa MAX SLOBODAN PAD opcijom imate do 50 sekundi slobodnog pada, dakle skoro duplo više slobodnog pada!
2. Cijela bit našeg sporta se vrti oko SLOBODNOG PADA, što duže on traje to će cijeli doživljaj biti jači intenzivniji ... jednom riječju ne samo bolji ... već NAJboljiiii
3. Ljudi obično kod prvih skokova ne doživljavaju prvih 10-15tak sekundi slobodnog pada radi prevelike doze adrenalina već su u svojevrsnoj iluziji te im taj period gotovo ne ostaje u dugotrajnom sječanju, stoga sa standardne visine imate nakon odvoja od zrakoplova i početne navale adrenalina samo još 15-tak sekundi uživanja koje ćete povesti sa sobom u vječno sječanje ... sa MAX SLOBODAN opcijom ćete u memoriju spremiti skoro duplo duži period SLOBODNOG PADA kojeg ćete se sa veseljem htjeti prisjetiti ... juuuhuuuuu!
4. Vrlo vjerojatno ćete ovaj doživljaj napraviti samo jednom u životu, stoga ... Ako je bal, nek je maskenbal!
5. Da se beskonačno možete hvaliti kako ste skočili sa najviše visine i vidjeli da je zemlja (stvarno) okrugla!
U svakom slučaju, naše iskustvo u ovom sportu vam toplo preporučuje da se odlučite za ovu opciju jer će to biti najbolji mogući doživljaj vaše životne avanture zvane SLOBODAN PAD!
