The Ultimate Guide For a Perfect Skydive

Funbooker has brought together a list of the best centres for tandem skydiving and parachuting in France. Discover the best options for skydiving baptisms and PAC courses… A unique experience to offer as a gift or to enjoy yourself!

How does your jump work?

On the day of your jump, you’ll arrive at the aerodrome for a quick briefing that will include theory, equipment presentation, positioning techniques and safety instructions. If you’re feeling nervous, the instructors will make sure you’re reassured!

You will then board the aircraft for a 15-minute flight up to 4000m, then the doors open! You will remain in freefall at 200km/h, accompanied by an experienced skydiver, for around 1 minute. This moment is exhilarating, and you will feel free as a bird! At about 1500m, your parachute will open, and you’ll float down to the ground in about 5 minutes, still buzzing from the experience!

The different types of skydive

Your very first jump can be as scary as it is exciting, so it’s good to understand the different types of jump in order to optimise your experience! There are three types of jumps for beginners in France:

  • Tandem (during which you are attached to your instructor)
  • Static line (during which your parachute opens automatically as you exit the aircraft)
  • PAC (AFF - Accelerated Freefall Formation, which involves jumping in formation with two experienced skydivers). If you are an experienced jumper, you need to check if your licence is delivered by a FAI-affiliated federation!

Frequently asked questions

💸 How much does skydiving cost?

You can jump from 240€.

😱 How to overcome fear?

On tandem jumps, your instructor opens your parachute. And if it doesn't open, there's a system that triggers automatically when you reach a certain height. So there's no need to worry.

As far as vertigo is concerned, rest assured, no one can feel vertigo at such altitudes - it's physically impossible! And with good reason: the distance between your eyes and the ground is so great that your brain loses its bearings.

☄️ How fast can you freefall?

In free fall you can reach a speed of almost 195km/h.

👕 What should I wear?

Wear comfortable, warm clothing. Shoes must be closed-toe.

🧒 How old do you have to be to skydive?

Minimum age is 15. For minors, parental consent is required. Some centers also accept 12-year-old jumpers if accompanied by an adult.

⚖️ What are the weight and height constraints?

It depends on the skydiving center. You generally need to be minimum 40kg and maximum 90kg. For height, you need to be at least 1m40. Some centers also specify a maximum height, around 2m10.

👃 How do you breathe when skydiving?

You'll be able to breathe completely normally, without any discomfort. You'll be able to shout, and even speak!
