Lakbay-freak: Skydive Dubai


February 16, 2012

The main event of my Dubai trip, tandem skydive at Skydive Dubai.  We were so excited we arrived at the site too early Skydive Dubai is still closed.  We signed up for the first batch at around 10am.  We signed the registration form and some wavers, went into briefing, met our jump master and cameraman, and in just a few minutes, we were called to board the plain and the adrenalin kicks in.  I was feeling nervous in the plane during the climb but when it's time to jump and during the free fall, it was exciting, I don't really feel I'm falling, just enjoyed the view, the camera and the rush.  About a minute after the jump, the chute opens for 5 minutes of gliding.  Everything was ok until my jump master did some stunts which made me feel sick.  I made it to the ground without throwing up.  I just had the most exciting moment of my life.  I went back to the building and waited for my photos and video.  You should also try Skydive Dubai Cafe, they serve good food there.
  • Tandem skydive is operated by Skydive Dubai.
  • Located at The Palm Jumeirah.
  • It cost AED1750 with photos and video.
  • The whole experience is about 3 hrs.


Briefing with my jump master.

Don and I waiting for the plane.

Waiting for our turn, very anxious.

It's time.

Wooooohhhh!  Free fall!

About 60 seconds of free fall.

The camera man shakes my hand.

Nice view of Palm Jumeirah.

Wind gushing all over, really oblivious to my surroundings. 

The chute opens, can't forget that sudden decelerating force.

Dubai Marina Bay view, about 5 minutes of descend. 

Touchdown!  

Still heart pumpin'.


Thumbs up for the most exhilarating adventure I have done.

Can't get enough of it.  The feeling of free fall a fraction of a second.

The facility.
