Commonly asked questions.
On the bus transfer option you are picked up at 57/89 Grafton Street in Cairns City, and your booking time is your pickup time. On the self drive option you check in at the dropzone at 30 Wilson Road, Mundoo, about an hour south of Cairns, where parking is free.
Wind, cloud and rain are the main reasons a jump is put on hold. If the weather stops your skydive, the team will try to rebook you before you leave the dropzone at no extra cost, and your payment stays valid for 3 years.

You need to be 16 or older, with written consent from a parent or guardian if you are under 18, and there is no upper age limit. The maximum weight is 115kg, with surcharges from 95kg that you declare when booking.
You need good general health and must be able to raise your legs for landing. Talk to your doctor about any medical condition and contact SKYONE for an individual assessment if you are unsure, as instructors can decline a jump on health, age or weight grounds.
