Nouméa Skydive

Above the Caledonian lagoon, Nouméa Skydive offers freefall jumps from three thousand or four thousand metres, in a tandem skydive supervised by an instructor certified by Jeunesse et Sport and the Civil Aviation Authority. Allow around thirty seconds of freefall from three thousand metres, fifty seconds from four thousand, at about two hundred kilometres per hour. The plane carries up to four tandems and flies over the lagoon for twenty-five minutes before the jump. The canopy opens at one thousand five hundred metres and the descent lasts four to seven minutes, with the option to handle the controls before landing. Plan a half-day on site, closed shoes and fitted clothing. Eat and sleep normally before jumping. Book your jump. The jump lasts an hour but you need to allow a half-day to work around any unfavourable weather conditions. Anyone over the age of 60 must provide a medical certificate. Consent from both parents is required for minors. Minimum weight: 40 kg - Maximum weight: 100 kg No scuba diving in the 24 hours preceding the jump.
