Weather
Solo First Jump and Tandem
Skydive courses are conducted rain or shine! Due to our location,
our weather is frequently different from that of the GTA. It is
also very unusual that the weather is uncooperative for the full
day. Usually Mother Nature gives us windows of opportunity throughout
the day for skydiving activities. Call us for an accurate update
of the weather on-site.

your Solo First Jump or Tandem Skydive course, please telephone

Very

What
to wear?
You will be given a jumpsuit
to wear overtop of your regular clothing for the skydive. Do dress
comfortably, appropriate to the time of year i.e. sweat-shirt,
jogging pants and running shoes.
During
the wintertime dressing in layers is highly recommended. Wearing
long-underwear and layering with a turtleneck then a sweater is
ideal! Also, bring warm gloves (lined leather gloves are the best).
At this time of year it is best to bring too much clothing
as opposed to too little.
Health
Awareness
Please ensure a restful nights sleep and a healthy breakfast. If you have
a sinus cold or congestion and are planning to do a tandem skydive,
please call S.T.I. for further directions.
Age and Weight Requirements
You must be 18 years old to jump. However,
if you are between the ages of 16 to 18 years old you may skydive
under special conditions. The tandem skydive is the perfect choice
for you. Your parent's signed approval will be required, as well
as their presence throughout the registration, training and jump.
If you are over 40 years old, written medical approval is required
for the solo first jump course: a note with your name, the date,
and stating that you are 'fit to skydive' on a doctor's
letterhead is required. (A valid pilot's medical will be
acceptable.)
To
skydive you must be in good health. Students taking the solo first
jump course should weigh no more than 250 lbs; the tandem
skydive, 275 lbs. In any event if you have a health condition
which may increase your risk in skydiving activities, please consult
your doctor.
Identification
A valid picture identification
(I.D.) is required. For example: driver's license or birth certificate
accompanied by a student card.
Payment
Full payment is due upon registration.
We accept cash, Interac, money orders, certified cheques, Visa or
Mastercard.
Gift
Certificates
Please bring the gift certificate
or proof of purchase (credit card receipt) with you. They are
to be given at the time of registration. Only originals will
be accepted.
