What will you see on a skydive at Beni Mellal?
On a clear day, the moment you leave the aircraft, the often snow-capped peaks of the Middle Atlas rise up ahead of you and the Tadla plain spreads out 4,000 m below. For about 50 seconds you race through the sky at close to 200 km/h; then the canopy opens and you savour the panorama in near silence.

Why skydive with PACMA?
Because your skydive deserves a serious, passionate club. PACMA is approved by the French Parachuting Federation, has been skydiving for over 25 years and applies FFP rules on every lift, from the briefing to the landing, with a qualified instructor at your side: you jump with complete confidence.
An FFP-approved club
The Parachute Air Club du Maroc is approved by the French Parachuting Federation (FFP): training, equipment and jump rules follow FFP regulations.
Over 25 years of experience
Founded in 2000 by Karim Zaz and Omar Benizi, the club has jumped at Beni Mellal Airport since 2003 and welcomes skydivers from Europe every winter.
A proper jump aircraft
The Pilatus PC-6 Porter carries 9 skydivers plus the pilot to around 4,000 m in 15 to 20 minutes. A second aircraft joins at busy times.
Experienced technical direction
Omar Benizi, president and chief instructor, has been skydiving since 1975 and has around 14,000 jumps, according to the press. Your instructors are qualified and guide you every step of the way.
Safety comes first
Every parachute is fitted with an automatic activation device, and every weather call is made by the chief instructor, who always puts safety first: you jump with total peace of mind.
Weather: free rebooking
Wind or cloud getting in the way? Your skydive is moved free of charge to another date in the season, or turned into a credit: you lose nothing.
Birthday, leaving do, Father's or Mother's Day: give a memory they'll never forget. Gift vouchers are bought online and printed straight away; a voucher is valid for the season, until 4 April 2027 for one bought today, with the date printed on it.
The club doesn't run a shuttle, and you'll rarely need one: most visitors drive down the motorway. For groups, we're happy to point you to a transport company: message us with the number of people and your date.
How do I get the resident rate?
It's simple: the resident rate (2,500 MAD for a tandem) is for people who live in Morocco, with proof of residence. Expats, students and families based in Rabat all benefit. Non-resident visitors pay €250.
Do you offer a group rate?
Yes, from 10 people: 2,100 MAD per person for a tandem, on quotation, booked 6 days ahead. A day out people will talk about for ages, for a team, an association or a group of friends.
Does the price change if I travel from Rabat?
No, the price is the same wherever you come from: €250 for non-residents and 2,500 MAD for residents of Morocco, with proof of residence. Just add the drive and, why not, a night in Beni Mellal to make the most of it.
Is the video included in the price?
It's optional, and well worth it: €100 for non-residents, 1,000 MAD for residents, added online with your jump. It's the best way to relive your 50 seconds of freefall and share them with everyone back in Rabat.
Do I need any skydiving experience?
None at all! On a tandem you're harnessed to a qualified instructor who handles the exit, freefall, opening and landing. A ground briefing of a few minutes covers the handful of positions to hold: all that's left is to enjoy it.
I'm a bit scared: is a tandem right for me?
The tandem exists precisely for you! You need no experience and no special courage: after a clear, relaxed briefing, you're harnessed to a qualified instructor who takes care of everything. Every parachute has an automatic activation device and the club follows FFP rules. Your only job: enjoy it, and leave proud of yourself.
What documents should I bring from Rabat?
Very little: a medical certificate confirming you're fit to skydive (without one, the club doctor sees you on site for 200 MAD), proof of residence in Morocco for the resident rate and, for minors, parental consent. On the day, our team guides you through everything else.
What if the weather stops the jump on the day?
You lose nothing. The chief instructor decides, always putting safety first; if you can't jump, your skydive is moved free of charge to another date in the season, or turned into a credit. Before you set off, a quick WhatsApp message is all it takes to check.
How do I pay, and can I pay in euros?
You pay online by card, secured with 3-D Secure, with Tiki, via the payment institution Chari Money. The payment is charged in Moroccan dirhams (MAD), and the exact amount is shown before you confirm. Non-residents book on the euro price list, residents on the dirham price list.
How far ahead should I book from Rabat?
Book your date and slot online before you set off, so you can travel with peace of mind: the Pilatus carries 9 skydivers per lift. Online booking is open until 4 April 2027. For a group of 10 or more, allow 6 days.
Can I give a skydive as a gift from Rabat?
Yes, and it's a gift that stands out! Gift vouchers are bought online and printed straight away. A voucher is valid for the season, until 4 April 2027 for one bought today, and the exact date is printed on it. The recipient then picks their date.
