Reservations
Do I need a reservation to skydive?
It is recommended to have a reservation, but walk-ins are always welcome. Scheduled students
take priority over walk-ins, so it's a good idea to call first to see what are schedule looks like.
How far in advance should I schedule my skydive?
We recommend scheduling about 2 to 3 days in advance, for 5 or more people 1 to 2 weeks, but
call 435 259 JUMP for availability. We may have openings for you to jump today!
How do I make a reservation to skydive?
Just call us at 435 259 JUMP! We will take a non-refundable deposit of $75 for each jumper and
put you into one of our regularly scheduled classes.
What time can I skydive?
We have scheduled classes 6 days a week. For March 1 – April 1, our tandem classes are at 9
am, 11 am and 1 pm. From April 1 to Oct 15, classes start at 8 am, 10 am and 12 noon.
First Time Skydivers
Is there a weight limit?
Yes, we do have a weight limit of 200lbs at Skydive Moab.
How old do I have to be to skydive?
You must be at least 18 years old. Parents cannot sign for jumpers under 18 years of age under
any circumstances. We have no upper age limit. You are never too old to experience the thrill of
skydiving! An 80th birthday is as good of a reason to skydive as an 18th birthday is!

It's as easy as making a phone call! Call us at 435 259 JUMP and we will take your name,
address, phone number and a $75 deposit. On the day of your jump, bring your ID, comfortable
clothes (we will provide you with a jumpsuit), shoes (not sandals).
I never made a skydive before, do I have to do a tandem jump?
Yes, at Skydive Moab we require your first jump to be a tandem.
Safety
How safe is it to skydive?
All of our skydiving instructors have undergone rigorous training and national USPA certification.
We are proud to be a United States Parachute Association (USPA) enhanced group member
drop zone; we strictly adhere to all FAA and USPA guidelines on safety.
Safety is our top priority. All of our tandem/student parachutes are equipped with a computerized
AAD (Automatic Activation Device), called a CYPRES (Cybernetic Parachute Release System).
Although it is the skydiver's responsibility to deploy their parachute, the AAD is designed to
activate the parachute automatically should the skydiver be incapable to do so. The United States
Parachute Association (USPA) keeps detailed safety records and is a great resource to check
out if you are concerned about the safety of skydiving.

Groups
How large a group can Skydive Moab accommodate?
We can accommodate groups of up to 10 people. For larger groups, please call for special
arrangements at least 2 weeks in advance.
Do you have group rates?
Yes, click here to see our tandem group rates.
How many people can jump at one time / I want to jump with my friend - can we both be on the
same plane?
Up to 2 tandems will be on each load. We cannot guarantee that you will be able to get on the
same plane as your friend, but we will try our best to accommodate your needs.
Will I be able to see my friend in freefall?
No, you will not be able to see other tandems in freefall. To ensure everyone's safety, our
instructors will only exit the plane after the previous skydiver is a safe distance away. Under
canopy, however, you will be able to see other skydivers under their parachutes and you can
even hear them.
Video Package
Can my friend and I be on the same video?
One person's freefall will be on each video. However, footage is usually taken of groups or
couples on the ground, in the plane and after your jump. Just ask your videographer.
Weather
What if it rains on the day I'm scheduled to jump?
If the weather does not permit safe jumping, we will reschedule for another time or give you a full
refund if you can't reschedule.
Cancellations, Refunds & Rescheduling
What is your refund policy?
If you cannot jump that day, you can reschedule your skydive or get a full refund.
What is your cancellation policy?
We ask that you give us at least 24 hours notice to cancel or change a reservation. Canceling or
rescheduling less than 24 hours before your class date will result in a $35 administrative fee.
Please understand that our instructors have been scheduled to accommodate your reservation.
Miscellaneous
Can I skydive naked?
Ask your instructor.
Can I drink alcoholic beverages at any time on the drop zone?
No! Alcoholic beverages are not permitted at any location on the drop zone by anyone while
skydiving is taking place, even if you are not jumping.
