Frequent questions skydiving in the Sunshine Coast

By law 16 years old is the minimum age to skydive in Australia. All minors need their parent or guardian’s written permission to skydive. There is no maximum age, but we reserve the right to refuse a tandem skydive based on an assessment of age, weight and general health condition. Contact us to discuss your particular situation if unsure.

For safety reasons, the maximum weight to skydive in Australia is 115 kg. Customers weighing 95kg and over will be assessed for suitability by their instructor.

Weight surcharges:

• 95 – 99kg: +$25
• 100 – 109kg: +$50
• 110 – 115kg: +$100

• Dress for the weather on the day, it can be a little cooler at 14,000 feet.
• The best option is comfortable causal clothes
• Secure footwear is a must, no flip-flops or thongs allowed. Enclosed shoes such as runners are required.

Any healthy person over 16 years of age can do a tandem skydive, even seniors over 70 and 80 years old. For safety reasons, we reserve the right to refuse a tandem skydive based on an assessment of age, weight and health.

There are risks involved in skydiving, but the sport has become much safer over the last few decades, thanks to the advancements in technology, regulation, and training. All our skydiving rigs are equipped with an automatic activation device (AAD). In the unlikely event that an instructor is unable to manually deploy the parachute, the AAD will trigger the reserve parachute automatically based on height and speed. Most skydiving accidents involve experienced skydivers making poor choices or performing risky manoeuvres close to the ground.

You can breathe while skydiving, and we recommend that you do! The freefall takes between 45 and 60 seconds. If you feel like you can’t breathe, stop holding your breath and look at the horizon.

It usually takes around 15 or 20 minutes to fly to altitude. Then around 50-60 seconds in freefall. Followed by 5-7 minutes under parachute.
