How many people can go up in the same plane? That will depend on how many people are in your group. At most of the SKYONE dropzones we operate large turbine aircraft which are perfect for groups, however exact numbers on aircraft are affected by weights, how many want outside cameras, and other operational factors. The number of your group on the aircraft can vary from 2-3 people up to 5-6 people on average. We can advise you on the day who and how many will be on each plane load and we will do our best to accommodate group requests. If you have any special requirements please let us know at check-in.
Can I bring my own GoPro or action camera skydiving? Under the Australian Parachute Federation regulations, only licensed skydivers with more than 100 jumps are allowed to operate a camera while skydiving. This is for safety reasons, as wearing or operating a camera introduces a number of risk factors, like entanglement with the equipment or obstruction to operate handles and gear. Skydiving instructors receive specific training to address these potential safety issues. We offer optional video and photo packages at all our dropzones, to make sure you have the opportunity to capture the incredible experience of falling out of a plane. If you come with family or friends they can watch and film you boarding the plane and landing under a parachute.
How does the weather affect skydiving? Skydiving is weather dependent. The main factors affecting the safety or likelihood of a skydive taking place are winds, clouds and rain. Note: if we cannot jump due to weather restrictions we will re-schedule your skydive to another suitable date and time at no extra cost.
If we are not able to proceed with your skydive due to weather, you can choose an alternative date within 3 years of the original booking date, or you may receive a refund.
