GO SKYDIVING

Please dress suitably and comfortably for your skydive.

• Athletic, comfortable clothes are advised
• Sneakers or sport shoes are ideal for your skydive. Please make sure your shoes don't have any buckles or studs on them
• Not allowed: Sandals, boots or heeled/platform shoes of any type.
• Customers are advised to remove any jewelry, watches and other accessories before their skydive. These can be placed in the free personal lockers at our locations.
• Every customer will be given protective eye goggles to wear during their skydive. So, if you need to wear prescription glasses or lenses during your skydive, please do so. You don't want to miss that view!

You must be a 12 years of age or above on the day of your tandem skydive. Please bring a valid and official government photo ID on the day of your skydive. If you are between 12 to 17 years of age, you will need the signed consent of a parent or legal guardian on the Parent Consent Tandem Waiver. It is required that the same parent or legal guardian accompany you on the day of your skydive. Please note, you will not be allowed to skydive if they are not present. Additionally, your parent or legal guardian must also carry a valid and official government photo ID. Your legal guardian must present an affidavit (a notarized official document) proving legal guardianship in English.  If you are 70 years old or older on the day you skydive, kindly contact your doctor prior to booking.

It is important to inform us before booking if you have had any recent injuries or surgeries, restrictions on your physical ability or have any mobility issues at all. It is our obligation to inform you that if you are experiencing cold or flu symptoms or blocked sinuses on the day of your skydive, it may potentially lead to further health complications during or after your jump. We urge you to proceed with caution. Conditions that could prevent you from skydive include:

• Epilepsy
• Fits
• Severe head injury
• Recurrent blackouts or giddiness
• Disease of the brain or nervous system
• High blood pressure
• Heart or lung disease
• Dislocated shoulder or other limb(s)
• Recurrent weakness
• Diabetes
• Mental illness
• Drug or alcohol addiction
• Any past or present medical conditions

All aviation activity is dependent on suitable weather conditions, of which we mostly have on Kenyan coast. However, weather conditions such as rain, heavy low cloud or high winds can all prevent your skydive going ahead. If you cannot complete your skydive due to weather conditions you will be able to arrange another date. You have up to 12 months from your original jump date in which to re-book your skydive.

It is against skydiving regulations for tandem skydive passengers to wear a camera during the jump. For this reason, it’s not possible to film your own skydive experience. Don’t worry! The Skydive Swahili Team have got you covered… You can add a Video package to your skydive booking on jump day (there is no need to pre-book this.)

Of course, you and your family are welcome to use your own cameras to capture the skydive preparation and parachute landings.

The simple answer is that all skydivers carry a main and a reserve parachute. If the main parachute fails to open the reserve would be used. During your tandem skydive this procedure will be done by your Instructor. In addition to the two canopies there is an automatic device known as an Automatic Activation Device (AAD), which would open the reserve parachute if the instructor were unable to do so.

We’re often asked if tipping your instructor is appropriate. Yes, tipping is greatly appreciated, if you enjoy your skydive you may tip your instructor! A tip is a great way of communicating your satisfaction with your jump.
