 Skydiving
may have been started by the military as a means to transport
troops and supplies to remote areas quickly, but from that,
it developed into a worldwide sport. It is probably the closest
any human can come to actually flying without the aid of anything
mechanical, and for some people, the need for speed and the
ultimate rush can not be fulfilled without jumping.
You will discover all this XTREME experience in Playa del
Carmen near Cancun.
SKYDIVE CANCUN will give you a new concept about jumping. But
don't think you'll be flying alone. The staff at Skydive Cancún
is fully trained and licensed by the United States Parachute
Association (USPA). Each of your jumpmasters has years of
experience and is dedicated not only to training but also
to skydiving demonstration and competition. The staff at Skydive
Cancún holds a National Championship Recognition. You
will plan on making a tandem or AFP (Advance Freefall Program)
jump.

| TANDEM |
|
This is one of the most popular skydiving programs. This jump includes
a 45 second freefall, and an 8 minute canopy ride while you're
actually attached to your jumpmaster. This is a unique way
to experience your first skydive.
- TRAINING: For a Tandem jump is only about 20 minutes.
- JUMPING: While attached to your jumpmaster, you will
exit the plane from 10,000 feet. After a 45 second freefall,
you and your instructor will be suspended in a dual harness
below an oversized ramp-air canopy.
While under canopy, the instructor will assist you in guiding
the canopy to a soft, on-target landing.

| Advance Freefall
Program (ASP) |
After
just three tandems, you can continue with the advanced freefall
program. One jumpmaster will guide you through the exit, freefall,
deployment and landing processes.
- TRAINING. Takes approximately six hours which includes
aircraft procedures, the opening sequence of a parachute,
emergency situations, landing techniques, and practical
exercises in body positions for exit and freefall.
- JUMPING. From approximately 10,500 feet, one jumpmaster
holds on to you as you perform a series of altitude, body
and ground awareness exercises. At 4,500 feet, pull your
own ripcord and fly your ramp-air canopy to the ground.
