There are screens in the hangar and Sky Centre which show you approx. flight times. Please be aware your check in time is not your skydive time.

    Skydiving is an all-day event, and although we aim to have everyone skydived within 4 hours there is no guarantee.

  • Weather can be extremely unpredictable at times and the forecast isn’t always accurate. For this reason, we tend not to make a decision about the weather until the day before/morning of your scheduled skydive. We understand that this can make it difficult to coordinate other plans, but we will always do our due diligence to keep you updated on the conditions as best we can.

    If it is decided that the weather isn’t safe for jumping on the day of your scheduled skydive, we simply reschedule your jump at your convenience.

    You will not lose any deposit or money already paid.

    We understand that rescheduling can be extremely disappointing, its disappointing for us too! There is nothing we want more than to get you in the air, but your safety is our priority!

  • Wear comfortable clothes and trainers. In colder weather you should layer up. We also have jumpsuits and gloves if you wish to use them, though they are not mandatory.

    We provide googles to wear during your freefall, we also have goggles designed to be worn over glasses.

  • We have an indoor and outdoor spectator area with coffee shop, pool table and video games.

    Everyone is welcome, we are family and dog friendly. For safety reasons we do ask that children and dogs stay in the spectator area and do not enter the hangar at any time. Children and pets must always be kept under control.

    As we cannot guarantee a time for your skydive we suggest your family and friends arrive at the same time as you, so they don’t miss any of the action.
