You\u2019ll do a tandem jump, securely attached to a highly experienced jumpmaster. The jumpmaster is\u2014literally\u2014in control, but once the parachute opens, you get to steer it yourself for a bit.

Then, an instructor will give you a briefing\u2014lasting about 10 minutes\u2014on the dynamics of the jump. Once the introduction is complete, you\u2019re ready to take to the skies! You\u2019ll fly in the plane (a Cessna C-182) for about half an hour until you reach an altitude of 10,000 feet (about 3 km) to make the jump. That\u2019s when things really get exciting. The door opens, and you\u2019re strapped to your jumpmaster. You both step outside the plane onto a small platform and\u2026 \u201cGO!!!\u201d You\u2019ll experience about 45 seconds of pure adrenaline during freefall, followed by 7 minutes of gliding with your parachute open\u2014during which you\u2019ll have the best view of the island and can even steer the parachute for a few minutes. The landing takes place at the Skydive Cura\u00e7ao site, at the same location where you checked in at the office (near the Aloe Farm). In total, from check-in to recovering from the landing, the tandem jump will take about 2 hours.         <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Safety<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, this tandem jump is safe. You jump with a very experienced jumpmaster and everything is thoroughly checked. You don&#8217;t need a course or the like, though of course you will receive the necessary instructions beforehand. Statistically, you are also on the right side: the chances of something going wrong with skydiving are very, very small. But at the same time: skydiving is an extreme sport with associated risks.    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This tandem jump is possible for anyone weighing less than 275 lbs. In terms of age, we recommend &#8220;12 yr. and up,&#8221; but that is not a hard requirement. As long as you are aware of what you are going to do, follow the jumpmaster&#8217;s instructions and are able to land securely on your feet when landing, then you can join in.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Parachute springen Cura\u00e7ao\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0HF2XhbANHY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><em>This tour is operated by SkyDive Curacao.
