If you experience any issues while making a reservation online, we’d be happy to assist you! You are welcome to visit us in person before your skydiving date to secure your preferred time slot.
We accept the following payment methods:
We completely understand that plans can change! If you need to cancel your skydive, simply let us know by email school@skydivedubai.ae or info@skydivedubai.ae at least 24 hours in advance, and we’ll be happy to provide a full refund.
While we’d love to accommodate every situation, we’re unable to issue refunds for circumstances like not meeting our age, weight, or BMI requirements, being under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or scuba diving within 24 hours of your jump. These policies are in place to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for all our guests.
Tandem skydiving is an exhilarating experience for first-time skydivers. You will be safely secured to a highly trained instructor who will handle all the technical details, from deploying the parachute to guiding you to a smooth landing. To capture your adventure, we offer a dedicated camera flyer who will record every breathtaking moment of your jump.
The average human body falls at approximately 200 kmph, although this can increase or decrease depending on bodyweight and position.
As with any adventure sport, skydiving has an element of risk. However, we take every measure to minimise this risk by using state-of-the-art gear which includes an automatic activation device (AAD), that will deploy the parachute automatically in the unlikely event that your instructor is unable to do so. Furthermore, all our tandem instructors undergo extensive selection, training, and certifications. Our parachutes are meticulously maintained under the supervision of certified Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) riggers and our aircrafts meet the highest industry standards.
To ensure a smooth and safe landing, we do require a minimum degree of fitness which is determined by using your BMI:
Female
Weight: 90kg or less & BMI: 27.5 or below
Male
Weight: 100kg or less & BMI: 30.0 or below
We’re committed to providing a safe experience for everyone involved, and these guidelines help us achieve that. When you check in on the day of your skydive, we’ll take your weight with your shoes and clothes on.
You can typically book your tandem skydive adventure one to three months in advance. While we update our booking system regularly, some dates may already be filled. If your desired date isn't available, you can join our daily waiting list or check for openings at our other location.
Dress comfortably for your skydive while keeping in mind the local culture and sentiments.
Not allowed:
Yes, you will be given protective eye goggles so you can wear prescription glasses or lenses.
The time mentioned in your booking confirmation email is your arrival time, it is not your skydive time. For example, if you selected a slot of 10:00am, please arrive at 10:00am.
We ask that you plan to spend between three to four hours from check-in to when you complete your skydive. While we strive to get you in the air as soon as we can, weather conditions and other factors may cause delays. So, it's best to have a flexible schedule on the day of your skydive. If our skydiving operations are on "standby", you are welcome to reschedule to another date.
If you are visiting Dubai, book your tandem for the first half of your trip, giving you time to reschedule, should you need to in case of bad weather.
A standby is when skydiving operations are temporarily suspended due to weather conditions or other unforeseen circumstances. In the UAE, the primary interference comes from the wind, both at ground level and at different altitudes. During a "standby", conditions are closely monitored, and operations will resume once they are deemed suitable. If conditions do not improve, operations will be canceled.
Yes, it does. While we don’t see too much cloud cover in the UAE, poor visibility, precipitation, or winds (especially at higher altitudes) can sometimes delay proceedings. If poor conditions persist, we may have to cancel operations for the day, in which case you can reschedule to the next available date or apply for a refund.
While we always do our best to communicate operational changes ahead by phone or email , there may be occasions where we need to close our dropzones without prior notice. In such cases, please be aware that Skydive Dubai cannot be held responsible for any related costs (travel, accommodation, etc.). For further details, please refer to our Sales & Refund Policy.
Yes, both our locations have their own runways. After you receive a full briefing from your tandem instructor and complete your pre-skydive interview with your cameraflyer, you will be escorted to the boarding area on the runway. There, you will receive a pre-boarding safety check, and get a few pictures taken. Finally, you will board the aircraft with your instructor and videographer. After you reach the correct altitude and exit the aircraft for your skydive, you will land back at our location with your instructor.
Yes, and while it depends on staffing and availability on the day, we will do our best to accommodate your request. Please note, this may increase your waiting time.
