The tandem jump takes place from a small coastal airfield, with a school certified by the Mexican aviation authorities. The whole thing fits into half a day, from the initial briefing to the return to the ground.
After the paperwork and the weigh-in that determines which instructor you're paired with, the technical briefing covers the exit position from the aircraft, the role of each harness strap and the signals used during free fall. The climb takes about twenty-five minutes, giving you time to gradually take in the coastline and the barrier reef. The jump is made at around four thousand metres: some forty seconds of free fall, then five to seven minutes under the canopy.
Good to know: transport to the drop zone is not included. The souvenir video is offered as an option, at 110 €.
