Here’s a thorough guide on planning and booking tandem Skydive Dubai with a reputated UAE tour operator. Explore package options, compare prices, and learn about safety measures. Prepare for one of the most adrenaline-pumping experiences of your life now with expert guidance and seamless bookings!
Tandem skydiving is a safe way to experience sky diving where you attached with an experienced instructor from start to the end. The tandem skydiving instructor is in- charge of controlling the equipment, this allows you to enjoy the experience and take in the beauty without worrying about controlling your movements. This is ideal because you don’t have to learn to skydiving.
Height and weight are two major deciding factors of your eligibility to try tandem skydiving. Additionally, a certain level of fitness should also be maintained by you to ensure a hassle-free landing for you and your instructor. If you have experienced or going through any serious medical conditions you are required to fill out the ‘Declaration of Fitness’ form before arriving at the Dubai Sky Dive drop zone. Participants should be 12 years of age or older (according to the Gregorian calendar). Your Body Mass Index (BMI) will be the deciding factor and you will be weighed with your shoes and clothes on at the time of check-in for your skydive experience.
This is a question that bogs the mind of the bravest of hearts too. The fear is less because of the risk but more because of the unknown as skydiving is not a part of our daily lives. According to NHTSA and USPA Skydiving is believed to be less risky than driving. Now that’s shocking right? In 2018, roughly 40,000 people have died because of car crashes whereas there has only been 13 deadly skydiving accidents out of approximately 3.3 million jumps (recorded by USPA). The statistics shown below speaks for itself.
Dubai Sky Dive maintains safety standards in both its equipment and instructors. All tandem Skydiving instructors have faced serious levels of training and certification. This is followed by tough selection processes before they are ready to be an instructor with us. Equipment’s are also up-to-date and are equipped with an AAD (Automatic Activation Device). This device automatically deploys the parachute even in a rare situation when the instructor is unable to perform the action. All the parachutes go through strict checking and are approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Dubai Sky Dive hasn’t had any serious accidents related to Tandem skydiving. However, Three incidents took place in the past, one for the experienced sky diver and the other one plane deviated.
Book your tandem sky diving experience in Dubai’s premium location for AED 2,199 or the standard location for AED 1,699. Book at least 3-4 days prior for higher chances of getting preferred timings and to prepare yourself well.

In the instance of such a situation Dubai Sky Dive team will put your skydiving experience on hold. You will be updated about the weather and if there is no sign of improvement you will be reschedule it on the next available date & slot. If you are unable to do so the refund will be given.

Instagrammers can purchase a special video edit (at palm drop zone) for an extra fee of 100 AED to post on their Instagram handle. If Dubai Sky Dive cameral flyer weren’t unable to record the entire experience due to camera malfunction or the video is not up to the standards, you will be either refunded 200 AED or given a chance to re-jump.
