Frequently asked questions

  • You do not have to fill the waiver out before arriving at the dropzone although we strongly recommend that you do. The waiver takes about 15 minutes to complete so having this done before arriving at the dropzone allows us to streamline the process and get you ready to skydive faster. We will also prioritize those customers that have filled out the waiver so even if you arrive at the dropzone first, customers who have already completed their waiver will be setup to skydive first as we can get them into the air while you do your waivers. If its at all possible we do ask that you complete the waiver before arriving at the dropzone. You can find a link to our waiver here.

This is another skydiver who will video the entire jump process including joining you in freefall. This allows for the most dynamic and interactive video experience. The video flyer will fly up to you during freefall not only capturing the most amazing shots of your skydive but also allowing you to experience freefalling with another skydiver. This adds a whole new depth to your skydive and truly gives you an experience that is typicaly only available to experienced, licensed skydivers, hence we have named it the Ultimate Video Package.
