Our tandem instructor Crew have jumped over 1,000 times each, some individuals have even jumped over 10,000 times! All our parachutes are fitted with reserve chutes and automatic opening devices (AAD).

AAD stands for “Automatic Activation Device”. It’s an on-board micro-computer that automatically deploys a skydiver’s reserve or emergency parachute in the event that a jumper is unable to do so for themselves.

Skydiving is a weather dependent activity; our  recommendation is to book your skydive for  the beginning of your stay if you are on vacation. This allows the opportunity to reschedule your jump and avoid disappointment if the weather causes disruption. In most circumstances, early mornings are a great time of day to jump, the sky is generally calm, the temperatures are lower and it’s a great start to your day. In General Ras Al Khaimah has steady and reliable weather patterns, which is fantastic for air adventures.

We meet at the ActionFlight reception area where we will proceed to our training area, ground facilities for pre flight briefing and  dropzone at Tower Links Golf Club,  4550 Khuzam Rd – Ras al Khaimah – United Arab Emirates. From there we will transport you (this is included in the price) to RAK International airport for the flight. You will skydive back to the dropzone where your video and photographs (depending on package purchased) will be available.  Celebrate your personal achievement with a cool drink or meal at our ActionFlight-Links bar ‘the Dropzone’. If you arrived by courtesy vehicle, we will return you to your accommodation afterwards.

We encourage you to invite your friends and family to watch. Providing we have enough space in our vehicles we can take spectators for free.  This won’t be guaranteed and only available at the time of the trip. They are welcome to drive themselves to watch though and we can provide directions. This is limited to one spectator per customer and we cannot transport spectators on the last trip of the day.

Skydiving is a weather dependent activity and  sometimes we won’t be able to jump.  We will try our best to re-arrange your trip to the next time slot available if it suits. For this reason, we advise you to book your skydive on the first available time slot in your holiday and keep a back-up day free. If you cannot re-arrange to another trip, you will be refunded in full from wherever you paid originally.

Unfortunately, we cant allow personal cameras and Go Pro’s on board the aircraft due to safety and insurance reasons. All of our equipment has to be checked properly due to the extreme nature of skydiving.
