If you supply the incorrect height and weight at the time of booking and your instructor considers it to be unsafe for you to jump, you risk forfeiting your skydive plus any monies already paid.

If you feel you can't comply with the centre's T&C's you have up to 7 days from the date of your booking to cancel your jump. After 7 days, you will be bound to the centre's T&C's.
  • We can’t accept any responsibility if your chosen centre has to postpone their operation or change their opening days. We will either arrange another suitable date or transfer you to an alternative centre at no extra charge.
  • Please be aware that there is no guarantee that you will jump on your chosen date. If bad weather or circumstances beyond the centre’s control prevent you from making your parachute jump / skydive on your chosen date, you will be asked to re-schedule your jump with the centre for another time convenient to you at no further cost.
