Do I need experience to skydive?

No experience is needed for tandem skydiving. You jump strapped to a professional instructor who handles everything — you just enjoy the freefall and the view. The entire experience including training takes about 2–3 hours.

How high do tandem skydives go?

Tandem skydives in the Canary Islands typically jump from 10,000 to 14,000 feet, giving you 30–60 seconds of freefall before the parachute opens. The views of the coastline and mountains from that altitude are unforgettable.
