What is a tandem skydive?
A tandem skydive is how a beginner can experience skydiving without any prior training: you're attached with a special harness to a certified instructor who handles all technical aspects — exiting the aircraft, free fall, parachute deployment and landing. You follow a few simple instructions and enjoy the sensation.
Tandem became the dominant form of skydiving introduction after the technique was perfected in the early 1980s. Since then, millions of people worldwide have checked this experience off their bucket list — and the number choosing it as a gift voucher grows year after year.

Safety of tandem jumping: what you need to know
A tandem jump is considered a safe activity for beginners, provided it's performed with serious operators. Equipment used includes main parachute and reserve, plus an Automatic Activation Device (AAD) that deploys the reserve parachute automatically if manual deployment isn't used. Canopies are replaced periodically, and instructors have hundreds or thousands of jumps under their belt.
When jumps can be cancelled: weather factors
Jumps aren't performed in all conditions. Main reasons for postponement or rescheduling are:
- Strong wind with gusts or speeds exceeding safety thresholds
- Low cloud ceiling or insufficient visibility
- Rain, fog or precipitation
- Storms and lightning (stop operations completely)
- Extreme temperatures or unstable weather conditions
Checklist before your first jump
- Valid ID
- Comfortable clothing: long pants, long-sleeved shirt
- Well-secured sports footwear (no sandals, no heels, no slippers)
- Light meal 2–3 hours before; good hydration; avoid alcohol 24h before
- Confirm time, location and weather status with operator on morning of the day
- Ask explicitly what the package includes: filming, photos, material delivery, rescheduling policy
- If you have medical conditions, consult doctor before booking

Frequently asked questions about skydiving
How much does a tandem skydive cost in Romania?
The price of a tandem skydive starts from 1,390 lei for the basic package (no filming) and reaches 1,990 lei for the complete version with filming and photos. Prices vary depending on location and chosen package; premium options (formation jump with 3 cameramen) exceed 2,800 lei.
From what altitude do you jump and how long does free fall last?
Tandem jumps are generally performed from 3,000–4,000 meters altitude. Free fall lasts approximately 35–60 seconds at speeds up to 200 km/h. This is followed by 6–10 minutes of smooth flight under deployed parachutes.
Is prior training needed for a tandem jump?
No prior preparation is necessary. The 15–20 minute ground briefing provided by the instructor is sufficient. The instructor handles all technical aspects of the jump — you follow a few simple instructions.
Can I skydive if I'm afraid of heights?
Many participants with height-related anxieties discover that tandem is easier to handle than expected. There's no perceived edge as such — but a direct jump into space. The instructor stays alongside throughout, significantly reducing anxiety.
How far in advance do I need to book?
Minimum booking is 7 days ahead with most operators (at Cluj, minimum 14 days). In season — especially summer and weekends — spots fill up quickly, so 2–3 weeks ahead is more prudent.
