The skydiving centre in Dubai Marina has resumed operations at the Palm Jumeirah drop zone, with strict regulations in place to keep skydivers safe during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Upon arrival at Skydive Dubai, every visitor and staff member will be temperature screened, and anyone with a high temperature will be turned away, even if they have a paid reservation.

Inside the Skydive Dubai venue, there is an enforced two-metre distance between all guests and staff, and face masks are compulsory at all times. Skydivers must keep their masks on until the point that they are ready to exit the aircraft. Jumpers must also wear clothes that have at least one pocket, so that face masks can be safely stored away.

Children under 12 and people over the age of 60 cannot dive. Each skydiver is limited to bringing a maximum of one family member or friend with them.

There’s also a reopening offer available on tandem dives taking in June, July and August, with prices cut to Dh1,799. Skydivers will also get a free Instagram edit of their jump and a Skydive Dubai cap as a souvenir.
