Skydiving with SkyDive Mauritius

If you are over 18, in good health and according to your weight, skydiving is a once in a lifetime experience. Located in the north-east of Mauritius, the only local provider SkyDive Mauritius is a skydiving and freefall club-school. Supervised by a qualified and certified team of instructors, flight staff and pilots, board a Cessna 182 for your skydiving experience.

Before departure, a briefing of about 15 minutes will familiarise you with the different stages of the flight and the jump. The team will put on your flight suit and safety harness. They will tell you what positions to adopt during the flight for a smooth landing after the jump.

Of course, just before you get on board, thousands of thoughts go through your mind, between excitement and anxiety. But rest assured that after the briefing, you will gain confidence and be better prepared. What’s more, you’ll be jumping in tandem with one of SkyDive’s instructors, so once you’ve got over the initial shock, you’ll be able to fully experience this amazing adventure.

Tandem skydiving

For an unforgettable first flight, a tandem skydive is the ultimate experience.  After the video briefing and your harnessing, head for the plane for a twenty minute flight. Strapped to your instructor, you wait for the door to open, between apprehension and excitement. You are finally in the sky, gliding at 200km/h at 3000m altitude. The most incredible emotions flow through your body, with wonder being the strongest. Imagine the pressure of the air throughout your body, giving you an indescribable feeling of happiness and limitless freedom. As the parachute opens, you slow your speed to 90 km/h, with the silence of the inflated canopy. Open your arms wide and smile: a video or photo will record your incredible adventure. After a flight – always too short – of 5 to 7 minutes, the ground approaches and you are ready for a soft landing.

So, are you ready to jump from a Cessna 182 with a freefall of 10,000 feet lasting about 30-35 seconds?

New sensations await you in Mauritius. New heights for an impressive and exhilarating experience. Tandem skydiving is very weather dependent and cannot be undertaken in strong winds or full cloud cover. To book your tandem jump with SkyDive Mauritius, please consult our concierge in advance for your booking and they will confirm it on the day one hour before the flight to check the weather conditions.
