iFly Singapore Launches Special Tandem Skydive Promotion

iFly Singapore is making skydiving available to the public exclusively only on Saturday, 15 December 2012 on Sentosa island, another first for iFly Singapore.

This will be an once-in-a-lifetime experience for anyone who wants to skydive in Sentosa, Singapore. Only a total of 30 tandem skydives will be offered to the public as part of the inaugural iFly Singapore Indoor Skydiving World Championships 2012, to be held in iFly Singapore from 13 to 16 December 2012. Reservations are on a first-come basis.

Participants of the tandem skydive will experience a skydive experience from 10,000 ft that includes training and the helicopter ride over the South China Sea before jumping off the helicopter attached to an experienced tandem master.

All tandem participants will be securely attached by a harness to an experienced tandem master who is a “D” licence holder which is the highest skydiving licence available in the industry. All tandem masters have more than 1000 jumps experience in their skydiving career.

The tandem master will guide the skydiver through the entire jump from the leap, free-fall, under parachute and till the landing, allowing the skydiver to completely enjoy the adrenaline rush and breath-taking views of Sentosa and the South China Sea before landing on the Palawan beach of Sentosa.

“We are delighted to bring another facet of the skydiving experience to Singapore with the tandem skydives. This may be the only chance that people can enjoy this experience in Singapore. We are giving people ‘wings’ to fly and creating memories that will last a lifetime,” said Mr Lawrence Koh, Founder and Managing Director, iFly Singapore.
