Skydive Dubai

On October 22, 1797, André-Jacques Garnerin loaded his molded silk parachute and jumped into a hydrogen balloon soaring at an altitude of 12,000 feet [3,200 m] over Paris, making history as the first man to descend from a high-altitude stand.

More than 300 years later, skiing became one of the most sought-after sports. Thousands of jumps are made every year and one of the most popular places to hear this exciting game is Dubai. Skydiving in Dubai has grown in popularity over the years, and with world-class locations, amazing locations in the sky, and expert instructors, it has cemented its position as one of the world’s top looking places. Where do you find the best options for skyrocketing or the most magnificent man-made islands – the Palm Islands?

In this guide, we will take a look at everything you know about Skydiving in Dubai. Whether you’re a classic flyer or the first counter to look sky-high in your bucket list, the sky-blue sky in Dubai is your answer.

Skydive Dubai Option

1. Outdoor Skydive
2. Indoor Skydive

Outdoor Skydive

Simply put, skating in the sky is what experts would describe as “real skiing”. You take a flight to altitudes of up to 13,000 ft and jump, with a parachute strapped to your back. While young athletes can experience skydiving  (tightly and securely tied to a trainer), licensed jumpers can go solo.

Indoor Skydive

Internal skydiving, on the other hand, mimics the reality of free falls in a dry air tunnel. As the name suggests, this type of sky skiing does not involve any natural phenomena. It is a great start for young people and those who have never had their first experience.

Skydive Dubai was founded in 2010 by H. Nasser Al Neyadi while Dubai hosted its first international tournament by Parachute in the Palm Drop Zone. Today, Skydive Dubai enjoys an excellent reputation for safety and professionalism and is one of the world’s leading skies. If you are flying in the sky with Skydive Dubai, make sure you are in the best hands and are in the company of skilled skydivers with thousands of cliffs under their belt.

4. At the boarding house, there will be a final check for gears and an op.

5. As you fly high, you will be greeted with great views of Dubai, the Palm Islands, and surrounding areas. The total time of the flight to the top drop-off point is 20 minutes. This is the last 20 minutes you have to resolve your emotions before taking action.

Pro Tips For Your First Time Skydiving Experience

1. Eat a balanced and healthy breakfast before you go out of your way. Just know that flipping through the sky on an empty or full stomach is not a pleasant experience. Keep it simple and make sure you are well-fed before diving.

2. Sleep well last night. While it’s normal to enjoy jumping to keep you up all night, try and make sure you can get a good night’s sleep.

3. Wear appropriate clothing – sports and luxury, sneakers/sports shoes. Sandals, high heels, and collar shirts will not be allowed.

4. Be prepared to wait. Skydiving is a game that relies heavily on the weather. Skydive Dubai authorities keep a regular check on the weather monitor to track the winds. If the wind blows or the weather gets worse, be prepared to wait. If the conditions are not right, your information may take a while.

5. If you are a woman and you are looking for a female tandem teacher, then kindly ask for the same on campus.

6. You don’t have to be an athlete to be in the sky. If your weight is below the limit and you are living a normal life, you should be fine.
