Skydive Panamá (tandem jumps, Chame)

Checked · official siteWe checked the details on the place’s own or an official website.

Tandem skydiving over the Pacific beaches from the small Chame airfield west of the city: about a 20-minute climb to 9,000 ft, roughly 40 seconds of freefall, then a parachute ride down.

Good to know

Book by email info@skydivepanama.com or WhatsApp +507 6426-9022; the operator says it does not take instant online bookings. The only price on its site is labelled 2019 season (tandem $387, video $95), so treat it as outdated. Cancellation within 12 hours forfeits the jump. Coordinates are for Chame airfield in OSM.
