You don’t need any prior experience to go tandem skydiving, so you can just relax and enjoy the incredible views. Here’s what you can expect:

- Trained professionals: You will be jumping with experienced and certified professionals who will ensure the safest jump for you.
- Gear: The gear passes multiple checks before it’s put on you, ensuring it is in perfect condition when you jump.
- Emergency procedures: In the rare occurrence that the parachute doesn’t open, your instructor will release that canopy and release the reserve parachute.
- Insurance: Personal accident insurance of up to $50,000 is included in the cost of your skydive.
- Recommended clothing: Wear loose, casual clothing, like activewear, jeans or tracksuit pants.
- Footwear: Shoes must be fully enclosed. Preferably wear training or running shoes.
- Outerwear: In the colder months, bring a jumper, jacket or fleece, as the dropzone will not be providing any extra clothes.
- Loose items: Remove any rings, earrings, necklaces, dentures or false teeth before your dive – these loose items will drop while you dive!
- Eyewear: Glasses and contact lenses are completely fine to wear – inform your instructor before you dive if you’re wearing contact lenses, so they can provide goggles to protect them.
Carry:
- Relevant medication like that for motion sickness
- Change of clothes
- Sunscreen
- Sunglasses
Don’t carry:
- Mobile phones, headphones, or any loose electronics
- Any heavy belongings, like a bag, backpack, or purse.
- Bubble/Chewing gum
- Any sharp objects - knives, scissors, etc
- Do not consume any alcoholic beverages or recreational drugs up to 12 hours before your jump. This is a requirement of the Australian Parachute Federation, and the venue may ask to conduct a breath analysis test if they suspect you are under the influence.
- Eat a balanced, light meal before your jump. Avoid fast food, extremely oily or greasy food and spicy dishes. Try to eat fruits, vegetables and any other light snacks.
- Avoid sugary drinks and caffeinated beverages, as they may cause palpitations or heightened anxiety before your jump.
- Hydrate just before your jump, but don’t overdo it. Drink just enough water (around 1-2 glasses), and don’t dehydrate yourself out of fear.
- Surcharges may be applied if you’re over 94 kg or over, and the teams at the dropzones may additionally perform a check to see if skydiving is safe for you.
- Pregnant women are not allowed to skydive.
- A diver must be over the age of 16 in Australia to skydive, and divers under 18 must be accompanied by a guardian, who will be present during the dive.
- If you’ve been scuba diving up to 24 hours before your designated jump time, you will not be allowed to jump. The sudden change in altitude and pressure will alter the way your body usually reacts to these changes.
- As skydiving is highly dependent on having clear skies – look at the forecast before you book your tickets. However, don't worry! Melbourne usually sees clear skies for a good chunk of the year, and tickets rarely get rescheduled.
- If the weather is unfavourable on the day of your jump, the venue may reschedule your jump. If you can’t make it to the rescheduled day and time due to scheduling conflicts, your money will be refunded.
- Make sure to dress comfortably and carry a jacket, regardless of the season. Wear SPF 30 and above, even if the forecast is cloudy, and make sure to take any motion-sickness medicine before your jump.
Tips for skydiving in Melbourne
- Safety instructions: Make sure to pay incredibly close attention to the team’s instructions. Treat their words as the ultimate thing you need to know before jumping, as they have years of professional experience.
- Capture your experience: We’d recommend going for the Handycam photo and video option. The camera will capture your expressions and joy in real time, and will serve as the only souvenir you need from this experience!
- Not feeling well? If you don't feel well on the day of your jump, communicate this to the instructors. They might recommend rescheduling for when you're feeling your best.
- Dealing with anxiety: Remember that it is normal to feel anxious before skydiving, especially if it's your first time. If you're feeling anxious before, try levelling your breathing and practising any techniques that help. It would also help to talk to your instructor and keep an open channel of communication.
- Communicate freely: Don't hesitate to ask your instructor questions, no matter how small they may seem. It's important to feel completely comfortable and understand everything that's going to happen.

Frequently asked questions about skydiving in Melbourne
How long does the entire Melbourne skydiving experience take?
While the freefall itself lasts only 30–60 seconds, the full experience—including check-in, briefing, flight, jump, and landing—takes around 4–5 hours, so plan your day accordingly.
Can friends or family come watch me skydive?
Yes! Most dropzones offer designated viewing areas where friends and family can watch you gear up, take off, and land—so bring your support crew!
Is skydiving in Melbourne suitable for first-timers?
Definitely. Tandem skydiving in Melbourne is designed especially for first-time jumpers, with expert instructors guiding you through every step for a thrilling yet safe adventure.
Will I receive a certificate after my skydive?
Yes, you’ll get a personalised certificate after your jump—a great memento and proof of your epic leap!
How do I decide between the 8,000 ft and 15,000 ft jump?
The higher you go, the longer the freefall! Jumping from 8,000 feet would have you freefalling for less than 30 seconds, whereas jumping from 15,000 feet would have you freefalling for at least 60 seconds before your instructor pulls the parachute!
Can I film my Melbourne skydiving experience with my own GoPro?
No, personal cameras or GoPros aren’t allowed for safety reasons. But you can purchase professional photo and video packages to relive every second of the dive.
What if I get nervous or change my mind on the day?
Feeling nervous is normal. Talk to your instructor—they’re pros at calming first-jump jitters. If you cancel last minute, standard cancellation terms apply, so check ahead. And if you have any more questions, check out our FAQ page.
