Planning your day

Before you jump HERE ARE SOME USEFUL TIPS remember to smile on your way down

What TO WEAR

Wear loose, casual clothing and sneakers as footwear. We provide customised jump pants to put on over your clothes, and in winter we provide fleeces and gloves. If you need anything, just ask. We’re all about keeping you safe and comfy!

The NIGHT BEFORE

Get a good night's sleep before your big jump, the epic adrenalin rush can be exhausting! You must not have consumed any drugs or alcohol in the eight hours preceding your skydive, and you cannot scuba dive 24 hours before skydiving.

Jump RESTRICTIONS

You must be 12 years of age or older to skydive. There is no maximum age limit, however reasonable fitness is required. If you are over 110kg, you will be subject to tandem master assessment. Surcharges apply to participants 95kg and over.

On THE DAY

Skydiving is a weather dependent activity, so arrive with no time constraints. Keep your mobile on - we'll call you on the day if conditions are unfavourable. You can call us on 1300 663 634, otherwise assume your jump is going ahead.
