From 9,000ft you will freefall for up to 25 seconds.

WHAT IS THE WEIGHT LIMIT?
Our maximum weight is 115kg/253lbs. All persons over 95kg are subject to Tandem Master assessment at the drop zone. Persons 95kg -104.9kg will incur a weight surcharge of $50 and those 105kg-115kg a weight surcharge of $75.
The minimum weight is 30kg/66lbs and all passengers must be big enough to fit safely into the harness.
IS THERE A MINIMUM / MAXIMUM AGE LIMIT?
There is no maximum age limit! We have taken passengers up to 94 years of age.
The ability for a child to jump is determined by their age (over 5 years), weight, size and how the harness fits. The minimum weight is 30kg and all passengers must be big enough to fit safely into the harness.
Children under the age of 12 need to come out to the dropzone, meet the staff and be fitted in a harness before we can confirm that they can jump. Anyone who is under 18 years of age will need the written consent of a parent or guardian.
WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?
Nothing much! So long as you have foot wear that won't fall off, and an appropriate amount of clothing depending on the season. In Winter, we do recommend that multiple layers are more suitable than one large jacket.
I WEAR PRESCRIPTION GLASSES, DO I HAVE TO TAKE THESE OFF FOR MY SKYDIVE?
No! We have goggles that will fit over your glasses.
I WEAR CONTACT LENSES, IS THIS OK?
Yes! But we do suggest bringing your contact solution just in case your lenses dry out.
DO YOU ALLOW SPECTATORS?
Providing we have enough space in our buses we can take spectators for free. This won't be guaranteed and only available at the time of the trip. They are welcome to drive themselves to watch though and we can provide directions. This is limited to one spectator per customer and we cannot allow spectators on the last trip of the day.
WHAT IF THE WEATHER ISN’T SUITABLE?
Skydiving is a very weather dependent activity so sometimes we won’t be able to jump. We will try our best to re-arrange your trip to the next time slot that suits and is available. For this reason, we advise you to book your skydive on the first available time slot in your holiday and keep a back-up day free. If you cannot re-arrange to another trip, you will be refunded in full from wherever you paid originally.
CAN I JUMP WITH AN INJURY OR MEDICAL PROBLEM?
If you are unsure if an existing medical condition or injury will affect your skydive, please consult with your doctor for advice. We are unable to advise on medical issues.
