Skydiving in Dubai
Among many things to do in Dubai are the Hysteria at the Dubai Mall, some of Wild Wadi’s exciting rides, and some of Orbi’s thrilling virtual reality games. Out of these adventures – none can compare or surpass skydiving! A new adventure awaits you here in Dubai – it has been reported that for inexperienced skydivers (meaning those without any experience), there is no need for prior skydiving experience.
There are various ways one can go about this thrilling activity; whether they want a solo or tandem jump, it doesn’t matter! Tandem jumps will soon become your favorite if you’re hesitant about sky diving before because just like with every other form of entertainment, experts accompany even novice sky divers. With an expert by my side… I am practically invincible!
Skydive Dubai
Skydive Dubai is a world-renowned company that specializes in skydiving courses all throughout the Middle East. It offers packages suited for everyone, whether you’re new to jumping out of planes or are looking for a more intense thrill. One of their most popular attractions includes freefalling over Dubai and feeling the adrenaline rushing through your body as it plummets towards earth at speeds exceeding 120 mph – something no picture could capture quite like it would with its magnificent cityscape shining in the sun below.
For those looking for an even greater challenge, try Accelerated Freefall (AFF) training which lasts up to 8 jumps with additional tasks between them. After finishing this training and passing certification tests, you will have gained skills necessary to jump off a plane alone confidently and safety.
The process of starting skydiving begins with the FJC (First Jump Course), which teaches how to use parachutes and land safely. This course will teach participants about basic safety, equipment, body position in freefall, deploying canopies and controlling them during flight while also showing how to make landings. Once FJC is complete then the participant will begin jumping out of planes. The next level up would be obtaining an USPA A licence – where once obtained one may jump anywhere in the world without supervision or other benefits including but not limited to obtaining insurance discounts.
Your Memory
Having a great time alone is one thing, but recording the event can be an entirely different experience. With just about any high-end phone these days comes access to photography tools. It turns out that selfie was an early neologism for taking photos of oneself with other people – something now done all the time on social media sites like Facebook and Instagram.
To that end, Skydive Dubai values your enjoyment as much as you do – they make sure to always hire skilled photographers who manage to take clear shots of you while jumping from planes at high altitudes. This ensures memories last forever in perfect quality too; pictures are digitally enhanced so they look stunningly vibrant when uploaded online.
Is Skydiving with Skydive Dubai Safe
Skydive Dubai assures that its instructors at both of its drop zones are some of the most experienced in the world and have had thousands of jumps each. It holds that many of them are world record holders. Added to that, it says it operates under the regulations of the Emirates Aerosports Federation (EAF). Before you take any skydive, Skydive Dubai promises an overall experience tailored for your needs – ensuring order and success from start to finish.
Skydive Dubai Café

Best Skydiving Experience!
Skydive Dubai is a spot for people who want to do the ultimate thrill-seeking adventure of a lifetime. The entire staff has years of experience and makes it easy for you to have fun no matter what level of daring you’re on – from those who just want to jump without fanfare, all the way up to adrenaline junkies looking for an extra rush (and everything in between). Ben and Anas were my instructors – they’re two of the friendliest people I’ve ever met! You won’t regret coming here! If you want to jump, do it here [with Skydive Dubai]!!!

Amazing experience
If you want to embark on this experience, book it now because you will not regret doing so! Every step of the way was smooth and easy – from checking in to touching down. I loved every minute of my skydive and enjoyed the excellent scenery immensely. My instructor Ray could not have been more helpful or supportive; I would recommend him highly!
People are often quick to speak when they don’t know anything about the subject. But I can tell you that this was not the case at all when it came to check-in. All of them were very kind and there wasn’t anything wrong with how they checked us in or handled our payment. If we wanted more information, one person would come over – it usually took us less than twenty minutes after paying the balance until it got called back for us to get kitted up. So even if they said forty-five minutes, it probably took less because it didn’t take much time at all from start to finish.
The included photos and videos are so high quality- some of the best I’ve seen. It’s incredible what the photographer captures while you’re freefalling. They make sure to guide your eyes back towards them – making it easier for them to catch every moment of your descent in order to capture the perfect shots. Plus, everyone was so welcoming and truly cared about my safety- which made me feel even more at ease than before.
Though the cost of the Instagram video was one hundred dollars more than what we would’ve originally planned to spend, in all honesty it isn’t too expensive. In total, there were ten photographs and one video from my skydive – I have some wonderful memories from this event. It’s worth every penny just for those awesome feelings!

Professional, friendly, amazing
From start to finish, I found my experience at this place professional. Every staff member was friendly and helpful; explaining what would happen next before it happened without fail. I felt completely safe the entire time, which is something that can’t be said for many other places. The jump itself left me speechless! Those amazing views couldn’t be seen anywhere else in the world. Even after it all ended, I could go home knowing there was a video of my experience waiting for me from them too – showcasing just how incredible it really was!
