Frequently asked questions

What is the most intense moment of the jump?
Freefall immediately after exiting the aircraft at 13,000 ft. You go from standing in a plane to accelerating to terminal velocity in seconds. That window of freefall before the parachute deploys is what most jumpers describe as the core rush.
Do I need to be afraid of heights to consider skydiving?
Fear of heights is usually triggered by standing near an edge with a visible drop below you. At 13,000 ft, there is no visual reference to the ground in the same way, which makes the fear response different for many first-timers. Most describe surprise at how manageable it feels once airborne.
Is the 4h duration all in the air?
No. The 4h includes pickup from your accommodation in or near Barcelona, transfer to the dropzone in Manresa, ground briefing and gear fitting. Actual airtime and freefall is a fraction of that total block.
What languages does the instructor speak?
The team at Extreme Sports Academy operates in Catalan, Spanish, French, English and Dutch. Briefings and in-air communication are handled in your preferred language from that list.

Practical info

Season

All year

Equipment

Wear comfortable, close-fitting clothes and laced trainers, nothing loose that can catch wind at altitude. The jump is physically light ("Occasionally sporty" level), but expect a full 4h block, so dress in layers you can adjust during the Manresa transfer.

Getting there

Extreme Sports Academy organises direct pickup from your accommodation in or near Barcelona, so no independent travel to the dropzone is required.
