The minimum age is 16 years old is the legal minimum age to skydive in Australia. There is not a maximum age limit to skydive but The Operator reserves the right to refuse a skydive, based on weight and health to ensure the safety of visitors and staff.&nbsp;

Due to safety reasons, the maximum weight to skydive is 115 kg. All customers are weighed&nbsp;at check-in. Charges apply for participants 95kgs and above:

<ul>
	<li>95 &ndash; 99kg: $25</li>
	<li>100 &ndash; 109kg: $50</li>
	<li>110 &ndash; 115kg: $100</li>
</ul>

There are risks involved, but thanks to the advancements in technology, regulation and training, skydiving has&nbsp;become much safer over the last few decades. Safety devices like Automatic Activation Devices (AADs), will automatically trigger the deployment of the reserve parachute in the unlikely event that the instructor is not able to operate the equipment. The Operator reviews all the aircraft and gear periodically, and all the instructors are highly experienced with thousands of skydives each, which ensures that your skydiving experience is as safe as possible.

Photo and video packages can be purchased as extras.

You can add an exclusive beach landing on Etty Bay beach as an extra for just $30, it is quite a unique experience!&nbsp;

It will often take around 1-2 hrs, however, it is safer to allow for half a day of activity as there may be weather or unforeseen circumstances out of The Operator&#39;s control.

&nbsp;

Your booking time is for your check-in. When you arrive at reception, you will fill in some paperwork, and then you are assigned to a load or flight. The safety briefing and gear up with your instructor will take 10 min, followed by a 20 min flight to 14,000 feet.

&nbsp;

Please ensure you do your check-in on time. If you have any issues please let us know in advance.

It depends on the size of the group and the aircraft&nbsp;operating on the day. If you want to skydive with your friends on the same flight, the crew will do their best to accommodate your request, please let them&nbsp;know when you check in.

<ul>
	<li>Dress for the weather with comfortable casual clothes.</li>
	<li>At 14,000 feet it will be cooler than on the ground, bear that in mind. The Operator can provide you with a jumpsuit to wear over your clothes if required.</li>
	<li>The Operator will provide you with skydiving goggles. If you wear prescription glasses there are&nbsp;special oversized goggles.</li>
	<li>Footwear is important, enclosed shoes that won&rsquo;t fall off are required, no flip-flops or open sandals.</li>
</ul>

Almost any healthy person can skydive, even seniors over 70 years old. The Operator reserves&nbsp;the right to refuse a skydive after an assessment based on age, weight and general health. This is due to safety reasons, to protect both customers and staff.

Of course! The Operator wants visitors to make the best of the day skydiving. Friends and family are welcome to hang out at the premises and watch you boarding the plane and landing under parachute.&nbsp;If you do wish to bring spectators, please call and check that there is room on the shuttle bus.

Experience Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef as a skydiver!

&nbsp;

The convenient air-conditioned shuttle service will pick you up from either the office in Cairns&nbsp;or your hotel. Then, at&nbsp;the skydiving centre, your tandem master will fit your harness and give you a safety briefing. &nbsp;

&nbsp;

Finally, it&#39;s time to get on the plane &ndash; the anticipation and adrenaline will be coursing through your veins. It takes about 20 minutes to get up to altitude, so soak in the beauty of the Great Barrier Reef and Tropical North Queensland. With 3 minutes to go, final safety checks are done, and you&#39;re ready to jump!!

&nbsp;

For up to 60 seconds, you will experience the exhilaration of freefall, reaching speeds of up to 200km/h. Nothing compares to it! Then, your parachute ride will last&nbsp;five to seven minutes &ndash;&nbsp;it&#39;s a serene experience. It&#39;s the same beautiful views as before but without a window this time! Why not ask your tandem master to give you a go at flying the parachute?

 
Land in the tropical gardens at the skydiving centre, or upgrade to a beautiful beach landing at Etty Bay (additional cost). Whichever location you choose, your family and friends can be there to watch you. If you do wish to bring spectators, please call and check that there is room on the shuttle bus.

 
There are&nbsp;video and photo packages available, and you&#39;ll also receive a certificate as proof you leapt from a plane. You will remember this experience for the rest of your life!&nbsp;

Acceptance:&nbsp;Confirmation of a booking and payment indicates that to us that you accept these booking terms and conditions.

Availability of Skydive Dates &amp; Time Slots:&nbsp;All skydive dates and times are subject to availability. Always check availability and days of operation either online or with our booking team, prior to booking confirmation.

Timing:&nbsp;All bookings are given a check-in time only, not a jump time. We strive to complete skydives within 3 hours of arrival, but due to factors beyond our control this is not always possible. Safety is our priority and factors such as wind, rain, cloud and turbulence can affect the time it takes for us to complete the skydive. We advise arriving with no time constraints and plan for a half day&#39;s activity.

Age:&nbsp;The minimum age for skydiving in Australia is 12 years.&nbsp; Skydivers under 18 years require consent from a parent or legal guardian.

Australian Parachute Federation (APF):&nbsp;APF Membership is mandatory for all skydivers. The APF membership levy is included in the price of your skydive.&nbsp; You will find a link for APF registration in your confirmation e-mail, it must be completed prior to your arrival at the drop zone.

Refunds:&nbsp;Full refunds will only be made if 48 hours of notice is provided ahead of your scheduled booking.&nbsp; If we are not able to proceed with your skydive due to weather, you can choose an alternative date within 3 years of the original booking date, or you may receive a refund.

Payments:&nbsp;Full payment is required at the time of booking, or a $100 deposit per person can be paid over the phone. Any payments made at the drop zone will attract credit card surcharges, and deposits are per person and transferrable, but cannot be used to pay the balance of another person&#39;s skydive.

No-shows:&nbsp;If you do not check in on the day of your booking and do not contact us in advance all payments will be forfeited.&nbsp; If extenuating factors exist, we may allow you to choose a new date. In this case a $50 per person no-show fee will apply.

Cancellations:&nbsp;Cancellations made within 24 hours of the jump date will result in forfeit of your skydive payment.&nbsp; Cancellations made within 48 hours of the jump date will incur a $100 per person cancellation fee.

Customer&rsquo;s Change of Mind:&nbsp;If you do not go through with your skydive all payments for the skydive will be forfeited, no refunds will be given.

Booking Changes:&nbsp;&nbsp;A booking can be rescheduled any number of times.&nbsp; Any change to the jump date or time within 24 hours of the jump date &amp; time will incur a $50 change fee.

Personal Identification:&nbsp;Make sure that you and everyone in your group has a valid government-issued photo ID on arrival at the drop zone on the day of your skydive.

Group Bookings: It is the responsibility of all members of a skydive booking on behalf of others to ensure they are informed of the Terms &amp; Conditions and provide us with the names and contact details of all individuals in the group. Last minute additions to the group are required to pay in full prior to arrival at the drop zone and may incur a delay. We always try to assign groups to the same aircraft, but this is not always possible due to operational requirements. No refunds will be made available where we need to change the group configuration.

Weight Surcharges:&nbsp; Weight is an important factor in aircraft weight and balance, fuel allowances, climb rates and equipment maintenance. Customers must be weighed at check-in if they weigh 95kg or more, and the maximum weight for tandem skydiving is 115kg. Weight surcharges apply.

<ul>
	<li>95kg and over $25</li>
	<li>100kg and over $50</li>
	<li>110kg and over $100</li>
</ul>

Changes to a Confirmed Skydive:&nbsp;To ensure the highest standards are maintained, we reserve the right to reschedule or alter a skydive without notice.&nbsp; Whilst rare, these changes may include aircraft type, jump time, group size, altitude reached and jump location.&nbsp; These changes do not constitute a claim for refund.&nbsp; We always endeavour to deliver the highest altitude we can.

Personal Electronic Equipment:&nbsp;For the safety of all customers and in accordance with Australian Parachute Federation (APF) regulations, the use of all electronic devices, including personal camera and video equipment is not permitted on the aircraft or at any time during the jump.

Medical Conditions:&nbsp;Please consult your doctor about any medical conditions that could affect you safely completing a skydive.&nbsp; Please advise us prior to your jump of any medical conditions or other considerations that could affect your safety.

Alcohol and Drugs:&nbsp;No alcohol, &lsquo;recreational&rsquo; drugs or medication that may affect your judgement are to be taken within 8 hours prior to your check in.

Purchasing Photos and Videos:&nbsp; Whilst it is not mandatory to book a video or photographs, it is advisable, as on some occasions a late change of mind may result in disappointment.&nbsp; If there is a technical issue and all footage is unavailable, you will be offered a second skydive on the same day with videographer at no extra charge, or a full refund of your video/photo product.&nbsp; Please be advised that should there be any technical issues relating to camera/dubbing equipment, no refunds can be made for the individual skydive as the filming and skydive are two separate products.&nbsp; If only a portion of your video or photo product fails, you will be issued with a refund for the balance of the amount paid less the value of the product received.

Copyright Photos and Videos:&nbsp;The Operator owns and retains the copyright of videos and photographs purchased through The Operator. They may only be used for marketing purposes and reproduction, and must not be used for commercial purposes without The Operator&#39;s permission.

Changes to Products &amp; Pricing:&nbsp;The Operator reserves the right to change any pricing, special offers, products, and packages without notice.
