Acceptance of Booking Terms and Conditions: Confirmation of a booking and authorisation of payment indicates acceptance of these booking terms and conditions. You also agree to further indemnify SA, it’s associate companies, directors and associates against any risk or action related to your participation in your skydive.

Making a Reservation for Others: If you have made a tandem skydive reservation on behalf of others, you will be considered by the SA Reservations team as the ‘Group Organiser’ and it is your responsibility to ensure all members of the group are informed and aware of SA’s Booking Terms & Conditions. Group Organisers are responsible for providing us with the names of all individuals in their group, who wish to tandem skydive together. Last minute additions to group bookings are required to pay in full prior to arrival at the Drop Zone.

If additions are made to the group on the day, it is likely the whole group may incur a delay to their jump time, and in some instances may have to wait until the conclusion of the day’s bookings before skydiving. While SA endeavours to assign groups in the same load, SA reserves the right to change group configurations where necessary due to operational requirements. No refunds will be made available where SA changes the group configuration.

Availability of Jump Dates & Time Slots: All jump dates and times are subject to availability. Always check availability and days of operation either online or with the SA reservations team, prior to confirming a booking on behalf of the customer.

Location & Duration of a Tandem Skydive: Note that all bookings are given an ‘arrival/check-in’ time only. Please note this is not a skydive ‘jump’ time. Whilst SA endeavour to complete an individual’s tandem skydive within 4 hours of arrival, SA advise arriving with no time constraints, and should plan for this to be a whole day’s activity. As safety is SA’s main concern, factors such as wind, cloud, rain, thermal turbulence etc. and other factors such as air traffic can affect the time it takes to complete the skydive activity.

Weather can change for better or worse in minutes, and customers will be unable to skydive unless they are at SA’s Drop Zone. SA utilises multiple landing sites at each of its locations. The location of the landing site for each parachute drop may vary depending on weather conditions, with the focus being on customer safety. Refunds or compensation will not be made if a spectator does not witness a landing.

Personal Identification: 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.

Age Requirements: By law the minimum age to tandem skydive in Australia is 12 years old. SA must be notified in writing prior to the jump date if a customer is between 12 and 18 years of age and must have parental or legal guardian consent. If under 18 years old, a parent or legal guardian must be present at the drop zone on the day of the skydive. If a parent or legal guardian is not present, the customer must immediately notify a member of staff at the drop zone, who will arrange for the correct documents of consent to be sent and signed prior too skydiving.

Weight Requirements and Surcharges: Weight is an important factor in Skydiving and Aviation. It affects aircraft weights and balances, fuel allowances, climb rates and equipment maintenance. All persons are subject to a Tandem Master assessment. SA must be notified in writing prior to the jump date if a customer weighs over 95kgs. Due to restrictions to the harness size, weather conditions and safety reasons, all customers weighing over 105kg will be assessed by our Drop Zone Safety Officer or Tandem Master. Note that weight cut-off limits apply. The following surcharges will apply for customers weighing 95kg or more and are payable on arrival at the drop zone:
95kg – 104kgs = $50.00 AUD surcharge applies
105kg – 114kgs = $75.00 AUD surcharge applies and requires on-site assessment
115kgs and over = $100.00 AUD surcharge applies and requires on-site assessment

Medical Conditions: Where possible, SA must be notified prior to the jump date of any existing medical conditions or illness. Medical conditions which could affect the customer’s safety should be discussed with a doctor to ensure customers are fit to skydive. Please advise SA if you are taking prescription medication.

Consumption of Alcohol or ‘Recreational’ Drugs: No alcohol or “recreational” drugs are to be consumed within 8 hours prior to the scheduled skydive jump time. For the safety of all customers and staff, SA reserves the right to refuse customers who are suspected of being intoxicated or having impaired judgment, and this does not constitute a claim for a refund.
Restrictions for Scuba Diving: Due to medical restrictions, you must not scuba dive within 24 hours of the scheduled skydive jump time.

Restrictions on Personal Electronic Equipment: For the safety of all customers and in accordance with skydive 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.

Purchasing Photos and Videos: 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. If you have purchased a video package through SA, it will be tested on the day of your tandem skydive, and then made available for viewing on the same day. Your acceptance of the video on the day will be deemed as your approval of it being in full working order.

No refunds will be made available after your departure from our offices for those videos that are considered not to be in full working order. 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. If we are unable to provide you with the skydive video or photo product due to technical issues a refund for the video or photo product purchased will be issued. 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 actually received.

Copyright Photos and Videos: Videos and photographs purchased through SA remain the copyright of the videographer who took the footage and they own and retain the right to the footage and photographs. A licence agreement exists between SA and the respective videographer who took the respective footage. Such footage may be used by SA for company marketing purposes and reproduction of videos sold and may only be used or reproduced by the purchaser or recipient for private or domestic purposes and must not be used for any commercial purpose, including promotion of any supplier or any supplier’s products or services without the videographer’s and SA’s prior permission. Should you not want any of your footage or photographs uploaded to SA social media platforms, or used in company marketing, it is your responsibility to advise our SA staff prior to your jump.

Australian Parachute Federation (APF): APF Membership is mandatory for all tandem skydive customers. The APF membership levy is included in the price of your tandem skydive, there are no other hidden fees or prices. Wherever possible, all customers must pre-register with the APF before arriving at the drop zone. Links to the APF form may be found on your confirmation email. All payments and documents must be completed prior to skydiving.

Surcharges: Credit card payments for skydive bookings, which are processed over the phone directly by our Reservations team or via our direct online booking cart, will not attract credit card surcharges.

Customer’s Change of Mind: Payments will be forfeited, and no refunds will be given to a customer who fails to go through with a skydive or decides to change to a different experience of a lesser value.

Changes by SA to a Confirmed Skydive: To ensure the highest standards are maintained, SA reserves the right to reschedule or alter a tandem skydive with no prior notification. These changes do not constitute a claim for a refund and include changes to type of aircraft used, drop zone, check in time, jump time, number of participants in a plane, altitude reached, duration of free fall and location. Providing customers with a 100% safe and amazing experience is our number one focus.

Cancellations or Changes by SA due to Weather: If a skydive is cancelled due to weather, SA will endeavour to rebook the jump on a suitable alternative date before leaving the drop zone. If this is not possible, a ‘limbo’ credit will be issued to the customer to the value of the original skydive. A limbo credit will remain valid for a period of 12 months from the original jump date. This voucher can be transferred to another SA location. Customers must pay any price difference if changing to an experience of a higher booking value including upgrading to a higher jump height, changing to a weekend and public holiday, changing products, packages or skydive locations. Customers will not be due a refund if changing to an experience of a lesser booking value.

It’s best to book your skydive as early as possible in the day to maximize your chances of jumping, as weather conditions can change throughout the day.

The minimum age for tandem skydiving in Australia is 16. If you’re under 18, a parent or legal guardian must be present on the day of the jump.

Yes, weight limits apply and are assessed at the drop zone. Specifically, customers weighing 94kg or more (including clothing and shoes) may incur surcharges. Furthermore, those over 110kg are not guaranteed to jump – an assessment will need to be made at the Byron Bay dropzone.

Weight surcharges help cover the additional strain on equipment and the extra physical demands on instructors. Only highly experienced instructors can take jumpers above the weight threshold, and regular maintenance is essential for safety.

You can book your skydive from one day to six months in advance. We recommend booking 1-2 weeks ahead during peak seasons to secure your preferred date.

No, photos and videos are available for purchase at the drop zone after you’ve completed your jump. You’ll receive them via email the same day, so you can share your skydiving experience with friends and family!

Unfortunately, you cannot bring your own GoPro. Instructors are specially licensed to carry cameras during the jump after completing extensive training and meeting safety standards.

Wear loose, comfortable clothing like activewear or tracksuit pants, as well as enclosed shoes. Additionally we recommend warm clothes and gloves in cooler months, as temperatures at 15,000ft can be chilly.

Yes, you can wear glasses or contact lenses while skydiving. The team will provide goggles that fit over them, ensuring you can enjoy the incredible views!

If weather conditions are unsafe, your skydive will be rescheduled. Conditions will be assessed on the day and you’ll be notified if your jump needs to be postponed. You can reschedule within 12 months, and refunds are available for international travellers who can’t re-book.

Please don’t be late for your booking, and allow extra time for parking and traffic, especially in busy locations. Double-check your confirmation email for the exact time.

Depending on the location, up to 5-9 tandem jumpers can board the plane. Groups can be accommodated, though instructor availability can affect this.

It’s normal to feel nervous! Your instructors are experienced in helping first-timers feel at ease. Don’t hesitate to communicate your nerves, and they’ll guide you through it.

Your skydive experience typically takes 3-4 hours, but can extend due to delays such as weather or air traffic. Please plan for a full-day adventure.

If your jump is cancelled due to weather or other reasons, your booking will be rescheduled to a new date. You can also opt for a “limbo” credit, valid for 12 months, and transferable to other locations.

In the extremely rare event that a parachute doesn’t open properly then the instructor will deploy the reserve parachute. No instructor jumps without at least one spare parachute for a safe landing.

No, you must wait at least 24 hours after scuba diving (even 48 hours if you’ve completed multiple dives in one day) before skydiving due to the pressure changes and the risk to your health.

Skydiving with a disability may be possible but you will need to get a medical certificate from your doctor and an assessment. Please reach out before booking so we can confirm whether or not it is appropriate for you to jump.

If you have any medical conditions, including heart problems or epilepsy, consult with a doctor before booking. Cold/flu symptoms may increase risks during the jump.

The parachute is deployed at approximately 4,000ft which will ensure a safe and controlled descent.
