all the adventures I've done in my life, skydive dubai, this is what I can say, it's so amazing, it's a mix of emotions that are scary, nervous, and you don't understand what else you'll feel, especially when you're on a plane and Falling from the plane was the most challenging for me but when I did it wow I was so proud of it I did it! with the help of the kind instructions of the staff especially the sky diving guy and the camera man who took the video that time...thank you so much for remarkable amazing experience in my life...i hope to see you again

Smooth and easy booking process. Very slick, professional and efficient operation. You feel in good, safe and welcoming hands from the moment you walk in. 'Adrian' was fantastic. Very calm, collected and assured. His voice and demeanor oozed control and confidence. He provided re-assurance in a gentle and sometimes humours way throughout each of the process (from the harness briefing , on the plane and upon landing) without being over protective and over the top. I definitely recommend. On the areas to look at: - I am not a fan of the upsell on the day. I would make the offer for the extra social package at the booking process. One step. - I was in the 3rd group so I oberseved 2 waves leaving before me. There is a varying degree of engagement and authenticity between the videographers. Some are really engaged with the jumper and some run through the motions with less zest.

Your Experience

Did you ever imagine you could soar over what is sometimes considered Dubai's eighth wonder of the world? SkyDive Dubai, the biggest name in adventure sports in the city, makes this experience possible!

All the Pre-Boarding Prep in-store

On the day of your reservation, you will have to make your way to the Palm Drop Zone. After registration and waiver forms are filled out, and your BMI is calculated for safety reasons, a spot for you will be reserved on one of SkyDubai's aircraft. About 30 mins before you board the plane, you will be introduced to your instructor who will walk you through the whole procedure, give you a safety briefing, walk you through the best positions for the free fall that is soon to come, and help you put on your harness. You will be accompanied by a camera flyer who will interview you before boarding (be sure to smile every time you see them!).

You will then be taken to the boarding area, taking pictures all the while, as safety checks are conducted on all equipment and the aircraft itself.

Soaring through the Dubai Sky

Next, board your aircraft and, as you ascend, get to marvel at breathtaking views of the surrounding areas. The ride on the way up is 20 mins long and right before you reach exit altitude, a whopping 13,000ft or 4,000m, you will be harnessed to the front of your instructor and checked over once more before jumping from the aircraft. You will freefall for a full 60 seconds, but do try to smile for the camera as you do! Your parachute will finally deploy at 6000ft, following which you will have up to 5 minutes of a comparatively relaxing parachute ride, allowing you to get your bearings and admire the incredible views of the surrounding areas as you descend. You can optionally opt for one-way premium transfer to the drop zone.

The rest is better experienced than told, but we can guarantee, you're not bound to forget it any time soon!
