Pre Jump Info

 

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.

Reservations
To secure a reservation for your Solo First Jump or Tandem Skydive course, please telephone our office.

Very Important: For Tandem Skydive reservations, please have your Visa or Mastercard number and expiry date ready to guarantee your appointment. Cancellations must be made before the weekend. All missed reservations will be charged a $50.00 'No-Show' fee.

Length of Time Required

Very Important:  For either skydiving course, we recommend you be prepared to spend the remainder of the day with us, until dark.

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.
