Frequently Asked Questions
Can I scuba dive before I skydive?
Can I scuba dive before I skydive?
Yes, but you must wait 24 hours after your scuba dive before coming to skydive. You can scuba dive straight after your skydive though, so if you’d like to do both and are restricted on time, consider booking your skydive first.
I'm really nervous, is that normal?
I'm really nervous, is that normal?
It’s perfectly normal to be nervous. It’s not every day that you jump out of an aircraft. Enjoy the nerves; it’s all part of the experience. The staff are all highly experienced and will help you turn your nerves into the experience of a lifetime.
Are there any age limits?
Are there any age limits?
The age minimum for jumping in Australia is 16 years. Any person under 18 years needs a parent or legal guardian to accompany them to read and sign the indemnity form.
PLEASE NOTE: There is no upper age limit for skydiving; provided you are fit and healthy, you can go for a tandem skydive! It's recommended that tandem passengers over 60 years of age seek medical consent from a medical practitioner prior to making a booking. The oldest customer to date was 90 years of age!
Can my friends and family watch?
Can my friends and family watch?
Of course! Bring them to the office with you, and the staff will ensure they are there when you land.
What time do I arrive?
What time do I arrive?
Your arrival time is 15 minutes prior to the time you booked for your jump.
Can I take my camera/GoPro in the aircraft?
Can I take my camera/GoPro in the aircraft?
Unfortunately not. CASA (Civil Aviation Safety Authority) regulations prevent loose articles from being taken up in the aircraft if the door is being opened mid-flight. However, the Operator does offer a full video and photo service for you to choose from.
Where will we be landing?
Where will we be landing?
You will land directly across from Wyndham Resort on beautiful Kirra beach, a 500m walk from the office and 5 minute drive from the Gold Coast Airport.
What if the weather is bad?
What if the weather is bad?
Skydiving is a weather-dependent activity and may be cancelled if the weather is unsuitable (windy or rainy). The Operator has a designated safety officer who will monitor the weather on the day, and you will only jump if it is entirely safe to do so.
If you are unable to jump on the day you have booked, The Operator will contact you and reschedule your booking for a day that suits you best. If you are unable to reschedule, they are happy to give you a full refund. (gift vouchers aren’t refundable).
As weather conditions are difficult to predict and can change frequently, your jump may be put on hold at any time before you exit the aircraft.
I'm afraid of heights, can I still jump?
I'm afraid of heights, can I still jump?
Many people are scared of heights; this is normal! However, jumping out of an aircraft is different to standing on the top of a tall building and looking over the edge. Even the Chief Instructor has a terrible fear of heights, and he has completed almost 12,000 skydives.
What should I wear?
What should I wear?
Make sure you bring a pair of flat-soled running shoes and wear comfortable, non-restrictive clothing. If you are jumping during winter, bring a warm jumper as it can get cold up there. You can wear shorts and a T-shirt if you are jumping during summer. No singlets or vests, please.
How long will the whole activity take?
How long will the whole activity take?
Skydiving is a half-day experience. If you're driving yourself to the office and everything is running perfectly on time (which is difficult when dealing with an International airport and air traffic control you will need approximately 2-4 hours for the whole experience.
If you have a group booking, the duration will depend on how many people will be jumping.
The experience is also very dependent on the weather, so some delays may occur due to weather conditions beyond The Operator's control.
Are there any weight restrictions?
Are there any weight restrictions?
Yes. The standard weight limit is 95kg. Each tandem passenger must be weighed at the office prior to jumping. This weight limit is enforced for safety reasons. If you’re over 95kg and under 110kg, The Operator would still love to take you skydiving. However, there are a few conditions that will impact your jump, such as wind direction and strength.
