Which altitude should I choose — 8,000 ft or 15,000 ft?

At 8,000 ft you get a shorter freefall and a great introduction to the sport. At 15,000 ft you'll experience up to around 60 seconds of freefall and the most expansive views of the reef and islands. Most first-timers who want the full experience go for 15,000 ft.

What happens if the weather is bad on my jump day?

Skydiving is weather-dependent. If conditions are unsafe, the operator may reschedule or cancel your jump. This is standard across all skydive operations and is done for your safety.

Is there a weight limit?

Participants weighing 94 kg or more are subject to assessment at the drop zone, and a weight surcharge may apply on the day. This is assessed by the operator on arrival.

Can under-18s take part?

Participants must be at least 16 years old. Anyone aged 16 or 17 must have a parent or legal guardian present at the drop zone on the day.

Do I need to print my ticket?

No — a mobile ticket on your phone is accepted at check-in.

Can I buy photos or video of my jump?

Photo and video packages are not included in the ticket price but are typically available to purchase directly at the drop zone on the day.
