Safety Considerations
Safety is a large consideration when skydiving, factors such as wind, cloud, rain, and others such as air traffic can affect the time it takes to complete your skydive activity. Weather can change for better or worse in minutes. Whilst we aim to complete an individual’s jump within 1 to 2 hours of arrival, we advise you to arrive with no time constraints – you should plan for this to be a half-day’s activity.
Aircraft periodically require servicing and maintenance; we reserve the right to change aircraft type without notice. On occasion, these aircraft changes, weather, Air Traffic Control (ATC) and other operational considerations may require us to change our operational altitude without notice.
Any unplanned aircraft availability or other unexpected circumstances beyond our control preventing jumps proceeding:
– Bookings may be changed to any other date within 12 months of the original booking date;
-Should weather prevent your skydive proceeding, all payments remain valid for a period of 12 months from original booking date and you are free to choose an alternative date subject to availability. Payments are non-refundable.
Jump altitudes can be affected by variable conditions outside our control such as weather, aircraft fuel and weight loading, all up passenger gross weights, air traffic control delays or air traffic and air traffic clearances . We will always endeavour to deliver the highest altitude we can. All our products are sold and booked as “up to” a jump altitude. We will deliver a skydive from the highest altitude available with all reasonable efforts. The skydiving service will be considered delivered and there are no refunds, for variations in jump altitude.
Medical conditions or any other considerations that may affect your skydive should be discussed with us prior to your booking. No alcohol/recreational drugs or medication that may affect or impair your judgment are to be taken.
We reserve the right to reschedule or alter a tandem skydive with no prior notification. These changes do not constitute a claim for a refund and include changes to type of aircraft used, check in time, jump time, number of participants in a plane or altitude reached. We pride ourselves on our excellent safety record and safety remains our highest priority.
Gift Vouchers
We need to book you in for your skydive so please call us or book online with your voucher number, otherwise you may be unable to use the voucher on the day you’d like to skydive.

If you lose or misplace an email or copy of a voucher you can still redeem the voucher by quoting your voucher number when booking. You must safeguard your voucher number; we will honour or redeem any voucher if a valid (unused) voucher number is quoted.
Gift Vouchers are non-refundable but are transferable. Gift Vouchers may only be used on a full priced skydive or full priced skydive including handcam video and photo package.

Age and Weight Limit
The minimum skydiving age in Australia is 16 years old. Persons under 18 must have a legal guardian present on the day of the jump.
Weight is an important factor in Aviation and Skydiving. It affects aircraft weight and balance , fuel allowances and ascend rates. Weight is also an important factor on a Tandem jump. It affects equipment maintenance and manufacturers limits and your Skydive Instructors’ workload.
Please note that maximum weight for a Tandem skydive is 115kg. Additional weight charges apply for weight over 95kg per below:
95kg – 99kg – $40
100kg – 109kg – $70
110 – 115kg – $100
We reserve the right to refuse a skydive based on age, health, weight or any factor we deem to be an adverse risk.
Personal accident insurance is included. Please refer to the Australian Parachute Federation website for more information.
Photo and Video Packages
If all footage is unavailable due to camera failure or other unforeseen circumstances you will be offered a full refund of your video/photo product payment.
Edited Photo and video packages are emailed with a download link from our editing software the same day.
If there is a partial camera failure resulting in partial footage, the full charge will still apply as cameras are subject to harsh environmental conditions that are outside of our direct control and, although not common, camera failures can occur.
If you prefer your images and videos are not used in any promotional material, please let us know.
Operational Plan of Management – Available on request
How we use your information
We collect your contact information so that we can contact you the day before your skydive and to send your edited photo and video packages. Your contact information is collected from the online booking system from when you click “continue”. We may contact you if your booking is incomplete. You will not automatically be added to any mailing list – because we know how annoying that can be:)
