What does the tandem jump mean? A tandem jump is a parachute jump in which one person tied to a tandem instructor does the entire jump. Tandem jumping is the easiest way to experience free fall. The instructor is the one who makes the jump. In this way, passengers can enjoy these extraordinary moments.

The pre-jump training consists of basic training on how to get off the plane.

  • Provide guidance on how to maneuver effectively during free fall and how to operate the main parachute independently.
  • The instructor remains responsible for the safe and timely deployment of the parachute.

Modern parachute equipment is very reliable, and malfunctions are rare. Even in the unlikely event of a main parachute failure. The system is well equipped with a reserve parachute to ensure the utmost safety.

Parachute equipment is very sophisticated nowadays.  Each parachutes have a safety system. There is instant the parachute opening below a certain height. In the event of a breakdown, each parachute has a second emergency wing to ensure safety.

For those who choose to have free fall baptism, it is preferable that you do a little bit of time before jumping.

What is a Tandem Skydiving?

Tandem skydiving in Mauritius is a style of skydive where an individual skydiver is harnessed to a tandem instructor. The instructor accompanies the participant through the whole leap, from exit to freefall, canopy piloting, and landing. Before attempting a tandem leap, the participant needs minimum instruction.

Tandem skydiving is a popular training technique for first-time skydivers. It introduces first-time skydivers with little training and experience to skydiving.

Before the jump, participants may receive basic training on how to evacuate the aircraft, perform freefall maneuvers, and deploy the main canopy. However, the tandem skydiving instructor is largely responsible for ensuring safe and timely parachute deployment.
