How long does the skydive experience take?

Although the skydive itself only lasts a few minutes, you should allow at least 3 hours for the full experience, including check-in, safety briefing, gearing up, weather checks, and your jump.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Skydiving is a weather-dependent activity, so jump times can vary and waiting times are sometimes unavoidable. 

On the rare occasion that you haven’t jumped within 3 hours of your booked arrival time, you’ll be able to reschedule within 90 days at no extra cost.

Can I wear glasses or contact lenses?

Yes. Most people can jump while wearing glasses or contact lenses. Protective goggles are provided and fit comfortably over most eyewear.

How high do we jump from?

With this voucher, you'll be jumping from 15,000 ft. The exact altitude on the day however depends on local regulations, aircraft, and weather conditions.

What is freefall in skydiving?

Freefall is the part of the skydive after you leave the aircraft and before the parachute opens. During this time, you'll experience the incredible sensation of flying through the air at speeds of up to around 120 mph (193 km/h). Although it sounds intense, most people describe it as feeling more like floating on a cushion of air than "falling." After around 15–60 seconds (depending on your jump altitude), your instructor will deploy the parachute, and you'll enjoy a peaceful, scenic flight back to the ground.

How long is the freefall?

Freefall from a height of 15,000 ft usually lasts around 60 seconds. Once the parachute opens, you'll enjoy a scenic canopy flight lasting approximately 5–8 minutes before landing.

Can I breathe during freefall?

Yes! This is one of the most common concerns. The air pressure doesn't stop you from breathing, most people are just surprised by the sensation of the wind. Just breathe normally and enjoy the experience. 

What if I'm nervous?

Feeling nervous is completely normal, almost everyone is! Your instructor will be with you throughout the experience, explaining each step and helping you feel as comfortable as possible.
