A tandem skydive means that you will skydive while securely attached to a qualified instructor. Your instructor will deploy your parachute, navigate to the landing area, and control the parachute to ensure a safe and soft landing. At Skydive Dubai, a camera flyer will also accompany you to capture every unbelievable second. So, all you have to do is enjoy the moment, and smile for the camera!
Subject to availability (If the booking is not confirmed we will process the refund)
Tandem skydiving reservations for both dropzones are generally available to book one to three months in advance. This is to avoid any unforeseen schedule changes, ensure aircraft availability, and to avoid overbooking during periods of aircraft maintenance.
You should plan to spend between 3 to 4 hours from the time you check-in to when you complete your skydive.
Our teams at both our locations work hard to get you in the air as soon as they can. Weather conditions on the ground and/or at opening altitude, or other factors, may result in delays, so please ensure you have a flexible schedule on the day of your skydive. We cannot guarantee you will be finished at a particular time.
If our skydiving operations are on standby, you are more than welcome to reschedule for another day.
As with any adventure sport, skydiving has an element of risk. However, we minimize this risk by using state-of-the-art training and equipment. Our tandem requirements also help us maintain our safety procedures. All Skydive Dubai equipment is equipped with an automatic activation device (AAD), which will automatically deploy the parachute in the unlikely event that your instructor is unable to do so. All of our skydiving tandem instructors have undergone rigorous selection, training, and certification, and all parachutes are maintained under the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) rigger supervision. Our impressive fleet of aircraft is maintained to the very highest standards. Your safety really is our primary concern.
Weather can affect skydiving. In the UAE we are lucky as we don’t tend to see too much cloud cover, but poor visibility, precipitation, or winds (especially at higher altitudes) can sometimes delay proceedings. If this is the case, our safety and training officer or other qualified personnel will put the operation on a ‘standby’. This doesn’t necessarily mean you won’t get to skydive. Usually, it just means you may have to wait a bit longer to do so. If poor conditions persist, we may have to cancel operations for the day. If we cancel you can reschedule to the next available date or apply for a refund.
Before your skydive, you will receive a full tandem briefing, and your camera flyer will interview you. You will be escorted to the boarding area, where you will receive a pre-boarding safety check, and you will get your pictures taken. You, your instructor and your videographer will then board the aircraft.
The time mentioned on your reservation confirmation is the time you need to arrive at our location. It is not the time of your skydive. You should plan to spend about three to four hours at the dropzone, as weather and other factors may play a part.
How fast will I fall?
The average human body falls at approximately 120 miles per hour, although this can increase or decrease based on body size and position.
A minimum degree of fitness is required to complete a tandem skydive, and to ensure a safe landing for you and your instructor. Your Body Mass Index (BMI) is an indicator of this.

FAQ for Skydive Dubai
Dubai offers two iconic skydiving locations: The Palm Dropzone and The Desert Dropzone. The Palm Dropzone provides a breathtaking aerial view of Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, and the city’s skyline, making it a popular choice for thrill-seekers who want to capture Dubai’s iconic landmarks from above. The Desert Dropzone, located further outside the city, offers views of the serene desert landscape, with endless stretches of sand dunes. Both locations provide a unique and unforgettable skydiving experience.
No prior experience is needed for a tandem skydive, as a professional instructor will accompany you throughout the jump. The experience begins with a safety briefing and training session, where you'll learn basic skydiving techniques and how to prepare for the jump. The instructor handles all technical aspects, so you can simply focus on the thrill and enjoy the views. Solo jumps, however, require certification and advanced skydiving training.
Wear comfortable, athletic clothing such as a t-shirt, leggings, or shorts, along with secure sneakers or sports shoes (open-toed shoes or sandals are not allowed). You don’t need to bring any equipment, as all necessary skydiving gear is provided by the skydiving center. It's also a good idea to bring sunglasses to protect your eyes from the bright sunlight. GoPro video and photography options are available for purchase if you’d like to capture your jump.
Policy for Skydive Dubai

It was great! A great experience! Well organized. I only waited for 45 minutes after I arrived before I was called for instructions. There would be 2 points I want to make. It is quite expensive and it feels a little bit as a factory and not so personal. I understand this is quite difficult with the amount of people who would like to jump.

Thank you, Skydive Dubai, for making my dream a reality! From booking, to check-in, to the instruction seminar, and finally to the jump itself, every part of the experience was incredible. The staff is fantastic—multicultural, welcoming, and highly qualified. My instructor, Irina, has over 800 jumps of experience, which made me feel completely safe and confident. Super recommended!.

If you’re looking for the ultimate adrenaline rush paired with world-class professionalism, Skydive Dubai is simply unmatched. I did my first-ever tandem skydive with them at the Palm Dropzone, and from the moment I walked in until I floated down under the canopy with the iconic Palm Jumeirah and Dubai skyline beneath me, everything was flawless. **Organization & Professionalism (5/5)** Everything runs like clockwork. Booking online was easy, and the confirmation emails were clear with exact instructions. On the day, check-in was smooth, and the staff kept large groups moving without anyone ever feeling rushed or confused. They split people into smaller batches, gave clear timelines, and you always knew exactly what was happening next. Zero chaos – impressive for a place that jumps hundreds of people a day. **Safety First – And It Shows (5/5)** Safety is clearly their top priority, and they don’t just say it, they prove it. The gear check is meticulous: your tandem instructor personally inspects every strap, buckle, and connection multiple times (and makes you watch so you understand what’s being checked). My instructor, Alex, went through a detailed pre-jump briefing covering body position, freefall procedures, landing technique, and what to do in the unlikely event of any issue. All instructors are highly experienced (most have 10,000+ jumps), and you can feel their calm confidence. The aircraft (sleek, modern, and spotlessly maintained) and the automatic activation devices (AAD) on every rig add an extra layer of reassurance. **The Jump Itself – Pure Magic** 45 seconds of freefall at 120 mph with the wind roaring past your ears, followed by a peaceful 5–6 minute canopy ride with jaw-dropping views of the Palm, Atlantis, Burj Al Arab, and the Arabian Gulf. My instructor let me steer the parachute for a bit – an unexpected bonus! The landing was butter-smooth on the soft sand right next to the takeoff area. **Staff & Vibes** Every single person – from reception to manifest, instructors, cameramen, and pilots – was friendly, enthusiastic, and genuinely excited for you. The energy is contagious. Even if you’re nervous, they make you feel like you’re about to have the time of your life (because you are). **Photos & Video** I opted for the hand-cam package and couldn’t be happier. The quality is stunning – 4K video and edited the same day with music and slow-motion clips. Worth every dirham. **Final Verdict** Skydive Dubai isn’t just a bucket-list tick; it’s an exceptionally well-run operation that somehow makes hurling yourself out of a plane at 13,000 feet feel completely safe and utterly exhilarating. If you’re in Dubai and on the fence – just do it. You won’t find a better-organized, safer, or more breathtaking tandem skydive anywhere in the world. Highly, highly recommended. Now I am not scared about tandem skydive!

The best experience of my life. This was my second time jumping with Skydive Dubai, and for the second time I was able to feel these unforgettable emotions. A huge thank you to instructor Nick and photographer Dylan, who were very helpful throughout the entire event. I appreciate their good humor, which allowed the entire plane to relax while waiting for the jump. I felt very safe and comfortable during the flight.
