• We have an A+++ safety record and all our tandem skydiving gear is fitted with reserve parachutes and equipped with automatic activation devices.

The final decision will be based on your fitness level and at the discretion of your qualified instructor. Anybody weighing 101 - 110kg will pay an extra $50. These fees are due to the increase in costs involved in taking a heavier weight.
