Questions

Before you ask.

The four things first-timers ask us most. Everything else is on the Safety & FAQ page.

All questions

How old do I have to be?

You need to be 18 or over for a tandem skydive. There is no upper age limit, but you must be fit and healthy on the day.

Is there a weight limit?

Yes, 230 lb measured in your jump clothes. It is about the harness fitting safely, so please be accurate when you book.

How long will I be at the airfield?

Plan for about four hours. Most of it is briefing, kitting up and waiting for your load.

What if the weather is bad?

We move your booking to another date at no cost. Skydiving needs clear cloud and safe winds, and we never rush it.
