Weight Surcharges

Weight is an important consideration. It affects aircraft weight and balance, fuel allowances, climb rates and equipment maintenance. Every customer will be weighed at check- in. We must be informed at the time of booking if a customer weighs 90kg or more. Skydive Sri Lanka reserves the right to refuse service based on weight if we consider it a safety issue.

The following weight surcharges apply:

• 90kg and over – $25
• 94kg and over – $50
• 97kg and over – $75

What time to arrive?

The time indicated in your booking confirmation email serves as your arrival time, not your skydiving time. If you have booked a slot for 10:00 am, kindly ensure your arrival at 10:00 am.

Important Note: While our team endeavors to prepare customers for their skydiving experience promptly, external factors such as adverse weather conditions may occasionally lead to delays in the day's schedule, potentially increasing the wait time for customers. Therefore, we recommend planning to allocate between three to four hours (from check-in to completing your skydive) at our locations on the day of your booking.

What to bring?

Please bring along a valid identification document (such as NIC, Driver’s license, Passport). Additionally, if you are 70 years or older, or if you have experienced any of the medical conditions listed above, ensure you have completed and obtained a stamp on the Declaration of Fitness form.

What to wear

Please dress appropriately and comfortably for your skydiving experience while also being considerate of local customs and sentiments.

We recommend wearing athletic, comfortable attire, such as T-shirts or tops with sleeves, and shorts that cover the thigh area to ensure a comfortable fit with the harness. It's best to avoid collared shirts to prevent discomfort from flapping collars during freefall. Additionally, it's advisable to refrain from wearing white or light-colored shorts or pants as they may become soiled.

For footwear, laced-up sneakers or sports shoes are ideal, ensuring they are free of buckles or studs. Swimwear, sandals, boots, open-toe, or heeled/platform shoes of any kind are not permitted.

Customers are encouraged to remove any valuable jewelry, watches, or accessories before their skydive. Protective eye goggles will be provided for every customer during the skydive, so if you wear prescription glasses or lenses, please ensure you have them on to fully enjoy the breathtaking view!
