For all types of video, you will be filmed during the preparation and it will show your impressions before and after the jump.

Handycam video : Your tandem instructor will film your jump with a “selfie” vision thanks to a camera mounted on his forearm. You will therefore be able to see all the expressions on your face during this experience!

This video can be watched on any screen and/or shared on all social networks.

Ultimate 360°/IMAX video : The best option to watch your jump infinitely! Your instructor films your jump with a 360° vision camera, and you are sure not to miss a piece of it.

This video also allows to watch the jump with a virtual reality headset in 3D.

Of course, you will also receive the video in a 2D format in order to watch it on a standard screen or also share it on your social networks.

Pro Skydiver Video : An external pro jumper equipped with a camera joins you throughout the jump and films you just like in an action movie. The “cameraman” will stay above you and film the opening of the parachute. He will then catch you up and join you for the descent. Before your landing, he will be waiting on the ground to film your landing and get your first impressions.

This video can be watched on any screen and shared on social networks.

You will also received about 50 photos.

Bonus: The poster : The best of all pictures reworked in order to create a true movie poster! The quality of this picture allows you to print it in a wide format. (1,50 meters high)

Why do I sometimes need to wait a few hours before being able to download my video?2024-04-26T13:38:33+02:00

We understand that once you have performed your jump, you are looking forward to watching your video as fast as possible!

Once you have landed, our instructor will give the camera to our video editor, but there is still a lot of editing to be performed before you are able to watch it.

Our video editor will edit the pictures/sounds so you can enjoy a beautiful video montage that you will be able to share with your friends.

Don’t worry, your video will be available on the same day.

Is skydiving dangerous?2024-04-26T13:37:51+02:00

Unlike what most people think, skydiving is less dangerous than driving a car or even swim in a pool!

Furthermore, at Skydive Spa, you are jumping with instructors that have undergone a thorough training and who are using a high tech and well maintained equipment.

Since the creation of Skydive Spa, in 1991, we have never faced any serious accident during tandem jumps.

With us, you are in the safest hands!

How is my security ensured ?2024-04-26T13:37:21+02:00

At Skydive Spa, your security is our priority.

Here is how we can ensure it:

  1. You are in safe hands! A tandem instructor needs a minimum of 1.000 jumps before being allowed to start his/her tandem instructor rating. He/she then undergoes several situations in order to be ready to overcome any issue, whatever happens!
  2. A complete equipment. During a tandem jump, your instructor is equipped with 2 altimeters and 2 parachutes. The second parachute is always equipped with an automatic opening device. Which means that a parachute will open automatically without requiring any human input.
  3. A high tech equipment. Skydive Spa is equipped with the highest and latest parachute technology. We are really intransigent and careful with our equipment which includes the parachute, the aircraft and all other required accessories.

You have further questions on our equipment? Don’t hesitate to ask our team!

I have a voucher, how can I use it ?2024-04-26T13:36:49+02:00

Go to the booking page in order to pick a date and time for your jump.

You will be able to enter your voucher code at the bottom of the registration form.

On the day of the jump, bring your voucher either printed or on your smartphone.

How to Book a jump ?2024-04-26T13:36:18+02:00

Booking a jump is only feasible via our online calendar.

Select a date and a time. Attention, the booking time is the time at which you are expected to arrive on site, not the time of the jump.

If your jump is cancelled because of weather conditions, you can choose a new date in our online calendar.

For vouchers combined with our partners, the booking of a room at the hotel or any other activity is independent of the jump. You must therefore book the jump on our website but you have to check with the concerned partner in order to reschedule the other activity.

Is it mandatory to create an account to book a jump?2024-04-26T13:35:44+02:00

No, you are not obliged to create an account in order to book a jump on our website.

How long are we expected to stay on site?2024-04-26T13:34:52+02:00

Depending on weather and Air Traffic Control, flights may sometimes be slightly delayed. It is best to schedule half a day on site.

While you are waiting, you can enjoy a drink at our cafeteria, take a seat around one of our picnic tables or even lay on the grass and watch other parachutes go down.

In summer, if your children are joining, they will be able to enjoy our bouncy castle next to the landing site.

Can my friends/family join me?2024-04-26T13:34:19+02:00

Of course! Your friends and family can stay with you during the preparation phase and they can follow you almost next to the boarding area. They can then wait for you outside and watch you perform your jump from the ground.

The tandem instructor will indicate the parachute color so they can recognize you when the parachute opens.

After landing, they will be able to see your emotions and you will be able to share the experience with them.

There are great chances that they will join you in the aircraft and jump as well next time! :-)

Can we see the parachutes land?2024-04-26T13:33:50+02:00

Yes! The landing site is located a few meters away from the area opened to the public.

The tandem instructor will also indicate the color of the canopy so your friends and family are able to recognize you when you jump!

I read there was sometimes a long waiting time, why is that?2024-04-26T13:33:17+02:00

We are doing our best to allow your jump at the scheduled time. However some factors may create some delays.

The most common ones are:

  • A weather change. In case of rain, gusty winds or clouds below 1.000 meters of altitude, we may be obliged to postpone the jumps later during the day in order to perform them safely.
  • Air Traffic Control. During each flight, our planes must receive approval from the national air traffic controllers in order to climb. In case of high affluence of traffic in the Belgian sky, we are sometimes forced to postpone our flights.

In case of any delay, our team will always keep you updated.

How long are vouchers valid?2024-04-26T13:32:17+02:00

Vouchers are valid for 1 year as from the date of order.

Are the vouchers personal only?2024-04-26T13:31:48+02:00

No. Once ordered, you can offer the voucher to the person of your choice. This person will then present the voucher to our staff during registration and enjoy the jump.

Do I have to create an account to buy a gift voucher?2024-04-26T13:31:19+02:00

No, you don’t have to create an account; you can order by choosing “guest” status. In this case, all we need is an e-mail address (to send you confirmation of your order).

How can I verify that my order is valid2024-04-26T13:30:37+02:00

(Check your spams if you can’t find it) If you did not received anything, you can contact us by mail directly: info@skydivespa.be or by phone +32 (0) 87 269 906.

Do I need to order the video reportage together with the voucher?2024-04-26T13:29:44+02:00

This is not mandatory.

If the person you offered the voucher to wants to have a video reportage, he/she will be able to buy it on site during registration at our desk.

What if my jump is cancelled due to weather?2024-04-26T12:28:39+02:00

Before opening a session, we must carefully analyse the weather chart that is published in the morning. Although we try to precisely evaluate the chances of jumping, weather might get capricious and force us to cancel or postpone a jump that had been confirmed earlier.

If this situation occurs, we will allow you to pick a new date that suits you in our online planning. You can choose a new date directly from our online calendar.

Why is weather so important?2024-04-26T12:27:55+02:00

At Skydive Spa, your safety is our priority. This is why we are forced to postpone your jump if the weather conditions are not good enough.

Here are a few cases (that are sometimes not visible from the ground) of weather constraints that force us to cancel a jump:

  • Strong winds on the ground that may lead to difficult landings.
  • Rain, even when it’s light. Droplets of water at high speed hit hard on your skin and are not pleasant.
  • Clouds under 1000 meters of altitude that lead to poor visibility. If clouds are higher, it’s not a problem, you may even have the chance to go through them!
How to book a jump ?2024-04-26T12:27:21+02:00
