Is it scary to skydive?

Absolutely! But that’s part of the fun. With an instructor right there with you, you can just enjoy the experience.

How long does a skydive take?

The whole experience, including briefing and the jump itself usually lasts between 2-4 hours.

Yes! We’ll provide goggles to fit over your glasses.

Unfortunately, for safety reasons, you can’t bring your own device. However, we do offer a fantastic video service!
