    • "Hello to all, skydivers, future parachutists or simple visitors. SARL OJB Parachutisme was born in 1999 on the aerodrome of Mimizan . Center Ecole de Parachutisme des Landes, recognized at the international level, we benefit from the Youth and Sport, from the affiliation to the French Parachuting Federation and for a few years now, OJB Para has been labeled 3-star French Parachuting School.

See you soon at 4200 meters..."

      OJB - Olivier Jean-Baptiste - Director of the school

      THE TANDEM JUMP

      A state-certified professional instructor trains you and takes you to 4200 meters with his two-seater parachute to discover free fall in complete safety. Initiation to piloting the sail for a landing 7 to 8 minutes later. Possibility of being accompanied by a videoman who films you and allows you to have a lasting memory to share.

      (Medical certificate of no contraindication required / - 95 kg / from 15 years old)

      INITIATION JUMP

      Discovery of skydiving in its entirety...
      A good half day of training then you board the plane with 2 professional instructors: 4200 meters, 1 minute of accompanied free fall. One instructor stays in contact and the other guides you and films you during the fall.
      Then 7 to 8 minutes under sail with radio guidance and landing. This jump also allows you to direct you towards a complete training: the PAC course.

      (Medical certificate of no contraindication required / - 100 kg / from 15 years old)

      THE PAC STAGE (Accompanied Progression in Fall)

      It is the complete training that leads to autonomy in free fall, under canopy and folding. After the theoretical lessons you make your first jump at 4200 m accompanied by 2 instructors.
      The other 5 jumps are supervised by a single instructor who will teach you safety and the practice of free fall. After the 6th jump and the validation of the instructor you can make your first jump alone.
      All jumps are filmed for an adapted pedagogy and validated on a personalized jump book.

      (Medical certificate of fitness for skydiving / - 100 kg / from 15 years old)

    An amazing Dropzone run by super nice people! View is really crazy from 4000m. They also organize beach jumps for current skydivers which is quite cool! Overall atmosphere is really good. Highly recommended for a first time experience but moreover for skydivers!! See you soon.

    The best DZ, particularly to start, since the landing is so easy and so much space around. The people and the area make it for a very special atmosphere. Just love it!
