What about the weather?
As skydiving is dependent on safe weather conditions, your jump can only be confirmed on the morning of event day. If an event has to be cancelled, we will either re-schedule to a later date, or provide you with a voucher so you can jump at a time of your own choosing.
Is there an age limit?
You must be over the age of 16 and otherwise considered fit and healthy. If under the age of 18, a parent or legal guardian must be present on the day of the jump.
How long will it take?
Typically the whole experience will be 2 - 3 hours, please allow up to 5 hours in case of weather or aviation delays.
What is included in my dive?
The whole adrenalin-filled experience! Includes tandem skydive from up to 15,000ft, video package and personal certificate of achievement from the venue.

Are donations tax-deductible?
Yes, all donations over $2 in value are tax-deductible.
What about the paperwork?
You will be provided with a liability waiver from the venue outlining the terms and conditions for your skydive. This is a contract between you and the skydive organisation and please review all clauses when deciding if this activity is right for you.
