Skydive Australia

Age Requirements: By law the minimum age to tandem skydive in Australia is 12 years old. SA must be notified in writing prior to the jump date if a customer is between 12 and 18 years of age and must have parental or legal guardian consent. If under 18 years old, a parent or legal guardian must be present at the drop zone on the day of the skydive. If a parent or legal guardian is not present, the customer must immediately notify a member of staff at the drop zone, who will arrange for the correct documents of consent to be sent and signed prior to skydiving. 

Weight Requirements and Surcharges: Weight is an important factor in Skydiving and Aviation. It affects aircraft weights and balances, fuel allowances, climb rates and equipment maintenance. All persons are subject to a Tandem Master assessment. SA must be notified in writing prior to the jump date if a customer weighs over 95kgs. Due to restrictions to the harness size, weather conditions and safety reasons, all customers weighing over 105kg will be assessed by our Drop Zone Safety Officer or Tandem Master. Note that weight cut-off limits apply. The following surcharges will apply for customers weighing 95kg or more and are payable on arrival at the drop zone:

• 95kg - 104kgs = $50.00 AUD surcharge applies
• 105kg – 114kgs = $75.00 AUD surcharge applies and requires on-site assessment
• 115kgs and over = $100.00 AUD surcharge applies and requires on-site assessment
