Skydive Dubai - Tandem above The Palm

Al Seyahi Street, Dubai, Dubai

Description

Skydive Dubai is a sky diving operator in Dubai that offers customers the option to jump either from their desert base or from their Palm Dropzone, essentially above the Palm Jumeirah. The tandem skydive has you harnessed to an experienced instructor and is the common way to experience the first ever skydive (yours - not theirs). You will be jumping off a plane at 4,000m / 13,000 feet and freefall at up to 200km/hr.

Access & Transport

The Palm drop zone location is right next to the beginning of the Palm Jumeirah complex and the Dubai Marina. There is an E11 interchange close by. The closest metro station is Dubai Marina - 1.5km away

Instructions & Recommendations

Please read the list of requirements on the operator's web page as they are very strict for safety reasons and no refund will be entertained if one is not met. These include, inter alia, (i) BMI and weight thresholds, (ii) min. 18 years old and above 70 years old require a doctor filled out form, (iii) no drug or alcohol consumed within the previous 24h, (iv) medical conditions restrictions, (v) no scuba diving in the previous 24h and (vi) signing a declaration of fitness form. A list of what to wear, what to bring and refund policy is also on their website.

Meta review

Most of the reviewers are first time sky divers and have been thrilled by their jump. The main recurring complaints relate to the long wait before a jump and the lack of personal engagement from the instructors with them during the waiting period. Also, the usual disgruntled clients who have not read the requirements well enough and were not allowed to jump.

Environmental & Social

Getting up high in the sky will leave a carbon footprint.

Conclusion

Sky diving above the Palm will give you an incredibly unique bird's eye view from The Palm and the tandem jump is the way to go for novices. Expect to have to wait quite a while potentially and cancellation due to weather is always possible, so we would not recommend travelling to Dubai just for that - the risk of being disappointed is too high.

Key positive

The adrenaline rush!

Incredibly unique perspective of the city

location is quite central

Key negative

Very expensive, more so than in most other countries

Long wait so this is a significant time investment as well as a financial one

Suitability

There is a long list of requirements on the operators' website - please read carefully. Most people with disabilities will not be able to skydive for safety reasons.
