FAQ

Tandem skydiving is available from the age of 12, provided the participant meets the minimum weight requirement of 40 kg (88 lbs).

For minors, a parental consent form and a medical certificate are mandatory.

It is essential that the decision to skydive comes primarily from the young participant.
Under the age of 18, the jump must be a genuine personal choice, made with motivation and confidence, in order to ensure a positive, calm and safe experience.

Our team reserves the right to refuse a jump if we believe that a minor passenger is not sufficiently willing or comfortable, always with safety and well-being as our top priority.

There is no maximum age limit to take part in a tandem skydive, as long as the participant is in good physical condition and overall good health.

For safety reasons, a medical certificate is required for participants over the age of 60, to ensure the jump can be carried out in the best possible conditions.

Each situation is carefully assessed by our team, with a constant focus on safety, comfort and enjoyment.

If your visual correction is minor, we recommend not wearing prescription glasses for better comfort during the jump.

If needed, you may keep your glasses on throughout the skydive. Protective over-goggles will be provided.

For participants wearing contact lenses, protective goggles provided by us must be worn for the entire activity, especially if you tend to experience dry eyes, to ensure optimal comfort throughout the experience.

Scuba diving is not permitted within 24 hours prior to a skydive.
Residual nitrogen bubbles in the body may increase the risk of decompression sickness, a risk that is further heightened by altitude exposure.

However, there are no restrictions on scuba diving after a skydive.

Please allow approximately 2 to 3 hours on site.
We do recommend planning for the entire morning, as the activity may experience slight delays depending on weather conditions.

Comfortable sports or casual clothing is perfectly suitable, along with closed-toe shoes, such as athletic sneakers.

As temperatures can vary by up to 20°C (36°F) between the ground and jump altitude, we recommend bringing a slightly warmer layer if you tend to feel cold.

In the event of a cancellation or rescheduling request, please inform us at least 48 hours before the scheduled jump, so our team can reorganize the schedule.
In this case, the jump may be rescheduled to a later date, subject to availability.

Any request made less than 48 hours before the jump will not be eligible for a refund, except in the case of a medical certificate or flight cancellation.

The Tahiti Parachutisme team reserves the right to cancel or postpone a jump at any time if weather or safety conditions do not allow the activity to be carried out safely.
In such cases, the jump will be rescheduled or, if this is not possible, a refund may be offered.

Each participant wears a waist-mounted pouch equipped with a flotation device.
Each tandem system is equipped, in addition to the main canopy, with a reserve parachute.

All of our skydiving equipment is also fitted with an electronic safety device, which automatically deploys the reserve parachute in the event of a malfunction or non-deployment of the main canopy.

These systems are an integral part of our procedures to ensure a maximum level of safety throughout the entire jump.

To take part in a tandem skydive, the passenger’s weight must not exceed 90 kg (200 lbs) and must fall within an appropriate height-to-weight ratio (BMI), for safety reasons related to the equipment and the landing phase.
For safety reasons, our team reserves the right to assess each situation on the day of the jump and to decline or cancel the jump if conditions do not allow it to be carried out safely and comfortably.

We invite you to consult our –>height/weight chart<– for further details and additional information.

Please note that the requirements for solo skydiving in French Polynesia are very specific and restrictive, as the drop zone is technical.
You must have your own up-to-date equipment, hold at least a French BPA qualification or an equivalent certification, and have several hundred logged jumps.

We do not offer skydiving training in French Polynesia, as operating conditions are particularly complex.
It is only possible to perform tandem skydives with our company.

In the event that a participant refuses to jump once on board the aircraft, no refund will be granted.

Skydiving is not recommended for individuals who suffer from lower limb injuries, spinal issues, heart conditions, ENT (ear, nose and throat) disorders, loss of consciousness, or epilepsy.
If in doubt, we strongly recommend consulting your physician before making a reservation.

Gift vouchers are valid for 6 months from the date of purchase.
Vouchers purchased during special events or promotional offers (such as the Tourism Fair, Christmas offers, or limited-time promotions) are also valid for 6 months.

For obvious safety reasons, it is not permitted to bring personal cameras or mobile phones during the skydive.
Any object that could interfere with the instructor during the different phases of the jump is strictly prohibited.

In addition, the fall of an object at speeds exceeding 200 km/h (125 mph) over populated areas (such as airports or public beaches) could result in serious consequences.

To keep a lasting memory of this unique experience, you may choose our photo and video option, filmed by your instructor using professional, purpose-built equipment.

We do not offer a shuttle service.
You will therefore need to make your own way to the meeting point.

You can book directly online through our website and pay by credit card.
If you prefer to pay in advance, bank transfer is also accepted.

Payment can also be made on site on the day of the jump. We accept cash, checks, and credit card payments.

Any reservation made without full payment must be secured with a minimum deposit of 25% to guarantee the booking.

In the event of a no-show on the day of the jump, the deposit will not be refunded.
