The offer
Frequently asked questions
What's the most intense moment of the jump?
Freefall exit at 3,500 m. You leave the aircraft and hit peak speed before the parachute deploys. That first second of freefall is the sharpest adrenaline spike of the entire 2h experience.
Do I need skydiving experience to book this jump?
No. The physical level is listed as 'Everybody welcome', which means no prior experience is required. You jump tandem with a certified instructor who controls the entire descent.
What languages does the instructor speak?
Greek and English. The briefing and all safety instructions are available in both languages.
Is 3,500 m a significant jump altitude?
3,500 m is a standard entry-level tandem altitude. It gives you a meaningful freefall window before parachute deployment, plus an extended canopy glide with views over the region around Serres.
