Guides for your first jump

Answers to the questions everybody asks themselves before a first jump: what the day is like, who can jump, whether it is safe, what to do about the fear, what to bring, when jumping happens, what it costs, and what comes next if one jump turns out not to be enough.

Your first tandem jump — what to expectThe day in order, from arriving at the dropzone to the minutes after landing, and what your body does along the way.What you can see from 4,000 metresThe geometry allows 226 kilometres. The air leaves you tens of kilometres — and that gap is the honest answer.Requirements: age, weight and healthWho can do a tandem jump, and when to check with us or with a doctor first.Is skydiving safe?The honest answer is that it is not free of risk, and nobody serious will tell you otherwise. What is worth knowing is where the risk sits and what is done about it.I am scared. Will I actually do it?Being frightened before a skydive is normal and is not an obstacle. What helps is knowing when it arrives and what happens to it next.What to bring and what to wearA short list. Most of it is provided at the dropzone, and the things you need to bring fit in one sentence.When we jumpWhether a jump happens is decided by the weather on the day, not by the forecast from a week earlier.How much does a skydive cost?Five prices from our price list, and what sits behind each of them: the aircraft, the kit, the instructor and whoever does the filming.Where to skydive in PolandNo league table and no names. Seven things genuinely differ between dropzones, and one question settles each of them before you pay.Tandem or AFF — where to startTwo different paths. One takes a day; the other starts something that lasts years.After the AFF courseThe course ends the moment you jump on your own. That is the beginning, not the finish — here is a map of what lies past it.

If you have never jumped

Start with your first tandem jump, which walks through the whole day in order, from arriving on the dropzone to landing. Then requirements, because those settle it fastest, and is skydiving safe, which answers without marketing promises.

If the date is already booked

What to bring and wear and when we jump are the useful pair — the second covers what actually stops jumping and why the hour moves. If you are more frightened than you would like to admit, there is a separate piece on fear of skydiving.

If you are choosing between a tandem and a course

Tandem or AFF compares the two, how much skydiving costs breaks the price into its parts, and after the AFF course covers the road onwards. If you have not settled on a place yet, there is also where to skydive in Poland — criteria, not a league table.

If you are buying a jump as a gift

Start with the gift voucher page: what it looks like, how long it lasts and how it reaches the person it is for. The most common occasions have pages of their own: an 18th birthday, a birthday, an anniversary, a gift for him, for her and for a couple. The jump is the same every time; what changes is what the buyer needs to know.

If you are coming as a group

The stag party, hen party and companies and groups pages cover what genuinely changes in a group: a discount counted across the whole order, alcohol and the order of the day, the invoice, and who books the date.

If you want to know how it works

The machine that carries jumpers to 4,000 metres has a piece of its own: the skydiving aircraft. Why the view only arranges itself under canopy is in what you can see from 4,000 metres, and where the dropzone sits in relation to the sea is on the Baltic coast page. News from the wider sport is collected in the Skyluma journal.

What is not here

Medical advice. The list of contraindications in the requirements guide does not replace a conversation with a doctor and is not meant to: if you are in any doubt, a doctor decides, not a form on a website.

There are no promises about the weather or the view either. Both are settled on the day.
