During the skydive, a qualified instructor will follow you down in a parachute. The solo skydiving course is the alternative option. The Skydive Dubai Desert Campus training program is part of this.

THE EXPERIENCE

Your three-hour journey is divided into four crucial steps.

REGISTRATION & TRAINING 

When you arrive at the venue, you must sign in and complete the required waiver forms during check-in. The next step is a weight check to determine your BMI. After completing the registration process, a tandem instructor and camera flyer will be assigned to you to help you during your experience. You are given a safety briefing and are shown the ideal body position for a free fall by the instructor. The harness must be fastened next.

THE FLIGHT 

After the initial registration and briefing, staff will escort you to the boarding area, where you will receive a pre-boarding safety check. Once the plane you board rises to 13,000 feet (4,000 m), you can enjoy the breathtaking views of Palm Jumeirah and the skyline. The total time to reach the jumping altitude is approximately 20 minutes.

THE JUMP

Your tandem skydiving instructor gives a final check, and that’s when the real deal begins. You and your instructor will exit the plane and free fall for nearly 60 seconds, along with your camera flyer. Once you reach 6,000 ft., you’ll have a 4-5 minute parachute, where you can fly past the skyline of the city like a falcon! 

POST LANDING

After landing, the cameraman will interview you to record your reaction after the adrenaline-filled fall. You will then be escorted back to the main building, where you can relax at the café while waiting for your photos and video. Don’t forget to visit the merchandise store, where you can buy t-shirts and other souvenirs. 

The assigned camera flyer will interview you regularly throughout the journey. So, keep smiling, even when you jump off the plane mid-air!

For experienced skydivers who want to jump at one of the two Skydive Dubai dropzones, the school also offers advanced coaching courses.

PROGRAM IN DUBAI
You must first complete the AFF (Accelerated Freefall) Course to skydive solo. It requires 15 minutes of tunnel time, seven or more skydives, and ground school (theory).

The course kicks off with ground school training, where skydivers learn to use the equipment, become familiar with parachute deployment and control techniques and in-flight and landing safety procedures. You must also complete a fixed set of manoeuvres to progress to the next stage successfully. 

After completing ground school, the next step is training at Inflight Dubai, which offers indoor skydiving in Dubai. Here, you will learn to fly and practice the freefall position for your first skydive.
