Frequently asked questions and answers
Answers to what people ask most often. If something is missing here, call us — we will be glad to help.
How much does the fun cost?
you can get a tandem skydive with us from 4,500 CZK (approx. €184), and for the „Trial Flight“ you pay 7,200 CZK (approx. €295). You will find the complete overview of prices in the price list.
Can I pay by card?
Yes :-), you can pay by card right at the airfield. Our company was in fact the first in the Czech Republic to offer the option of paying by card. We also offer jumps in instalments; you can spread the payment over up to three months! All you will need is an identity document and a VISA or MASTERCARD payment card.
When do I pay?
When you order through this website, you pay a deposit of 1,000 CZK per person. It is deducted from the price and you pay the rest at the airfield before the jump, in cash or by card. A gift voucher is paid in full in advance. And if a tandem slot is free, you can buy any of our services on the spot as well, for the full price in the price list.
Is a fuel surcharge added?
Not when you order directly from us. The fuel surcharge applies only to vouchers bought through experience agencies.
Will I need any equipment to make a tandem skydive?
The loan of all the special equipment (special goggles, jumpsuit, hood) is included in the price of the jump. Everything is very safe, so if the weather is warm we see no reason at all why a hood or a helmet should spoil the smile on your face. For the jump, then, choose comfortable sports shoes (ordinary trainers) and closer-fitting clothes (a tracksuit or leggings, a long-sleeved T-shirt, but only in case it is cold, so that you have something on under the jumpsuit). We will take care of the rest of the equipment.
Do I need any medical examination?
No, you do not need any special medical examination. We do recommend a medical examination by a designated aviation medical examiner for people over 60. Before the jump you will only confirm with your signature that you do not suffer from any serious heart condition, epilepsy, diabetes or other serious illness requiring constant and regular medical care. We also will not take you up if you arrive drunk or otherwise „adjusted“. Do not dive to a depth of 10 m or more in the 24 hours before the jump.
What if I wear glasses or contact lenses?
No problem. You will protect your eyes and your contact lenses with special skydiving goggles. For people who wear ordinary glasses we have what we call „goggles over glasses“. The passenger's age and weight Jumps can be made by applicants from 8 years of age (so that they get something out of it) and 120 cm tall (so that they do not fall out of the harness on us), and up to a body weight of 100 kg. By prior arrangement a jump can also be arranged for passengers weighing up to 110 kg.
Will I get any confirmation of the jump?
After the jump every passenger receives a CERTIFICATE of having made a tandem skydive. It states their name and date of birth, the date and place of the jump, the name of the tandem pilot, the type of aircraft and the altitude of the jump. The tandem pilot can also add the maximum free-fall speed and the exact free-fall time from his digital altimeter.
What about insurance?
We have taken out special accident insurance covering both passengers and damage caused to third parties. So you do not need any additional insurance of your own.
Where can I jump?
Our home airfield is Mladá Boleslav, where we have built excellent facilities. Our own car park and toilets.
How far is the airfield from Prague and where do I park?
Mladá Boleslav airfield is just under 40 km north of Prague. Enter Tandemy Kantor into your navigation; the destination is the entrance to our car park, and the last 50 metres or so is a field track with a no-entry sign. The car park is our own and we charge nothing for parking.
How many people can come with me?
As many as you like, we do not limit the number of people accompanying you. We charge nothing for parking and nothing for their entry, and at the reception they can watch the live feed of the jump from on board the aircraft.
When can I come and jump?
We take bookings all year round. Tandem skydives take place depending on the weather and on airfield operations, usually from March to November. You book a date using the form, by phone or by e-mail.
Does the voucher work as a present?
We will issue a voucher for a tandem skydive or for a Trial Flight and send it by e-mail, so it can be bought at the last minute and printed at home. It is valid for a year from the date of issue.
If I buy a voucher in December, will it expire before the jumping season?
It will not. The voucher is valid for a year from the date of issue and tandem skydives take place as a rule from March to November, so a whole season falls within its validity. In serious cases that the recipient documents, we will extend the validity.
What if the recipient decides not to jump after all?
The voucher is transferable, so somebody else can come and jump with it. A voucher for a tandem skydive with video and photos can be exchanged for a Trial Flight, or the other way round.
We are looking for an original Christmas present. What can we buy?
A gift voucher. We will issue it for a tandem skydive near Prague or for a Trial Flight, send it by e-mail, and it is valid for a year from the date of issue.
