Can I choose the videographer who films my skydive?

No, videographers are assigned by the dropzone team based on availability and safety requirements. Every videographer follows a professional filming sequence to capture your freefall from the best angles.

What happens if I’m late for my skydiving slot?

Late arrivals may lose their booking because skydiving runs on strict takeoff schedules. It’s best to arrive early to avoid missing the waiver, weigh-in, and gear-up steps.

Are skydiving Dubai tickets refundable if I change my plans?

Most skydiving tickets follow a strict non-refundable policy, but may be rescheduled depending on availability. Check your ticket’s terms before booking.

Can I request a specific instructor for my tandem jump?

You can ask, but instructor assignments depend on the day’s roster, weather, and weight balance for the aircraft. Requests aren’t guaranteed but are accommodated when possible.

Will my friends or family be able to watch me jump from the viewing area?

Yes. There's a designated spectator zone where friends and family can watch takeoffs and landings, take photos, and enjoy the dropzone atmosphere.

Do Dubai skydiving tickets include insurance?

Basic insurance is typically included as part of operational safety requirements, but it may not cover personal travel or medical circumstances. Guests often choose to carry their own travel insurance for added peace of mind.
