The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive early for checkout
Allow extra time for transfer pick‑up, paperwork, and the mandatory safety briefing so you aren’t rushed before the jump.
Know weight and health rules
Operators enforce weight and medical restrictions—declare any heart, neck, or recent surgical conditions at booking to confirm eligibility.
Dress for wind and sun
Wear secure, closed-toe shoes and a light windproof layer; sunglasses with a strap are useful on the ground and during approach.
Book video if you want memories
If you want photos or in-air video, reserve the photographer option—operators often have limited slots and add a small extra fee.
