13,000-ft Oceanside Tandem Skydive: Jump Procedure, Photo/Video Package, and Fitness Check

Reserve the 13,000-ft Oceanside tandem jump with the included photo/video package and use this guide to navigate jump procedure, media, and fitness checks for a smooth day at the centre near Victoria.

Jump Procedure

  1. Arrival and check-in at the Oceanside Centre (Victoria); your booking is logged in the system, you’ll complete a brief safety briefing, and sign the waiver.
  2. Gear up under supervision: tandem harness, helmet, and goggles; felix and roman explain the protocols and hand signals for exit and posture.
  3. Pre-flight briefing and ascent: board the aircraft and climb to altitude of 13,000 ft; take in coastal views over the beach and coral sections if conditions permit.
  4. Exit and free fall: on the count, you tilt into the arch with your partner; you will experience a controlled free fall lasting around 60 seconds before the canopy opens; keep your body aligned and relaxed to ensure stability.
  5. Landing and wrap-up: touchdown at the preferred beach zone near a small boat launch area; unclip, debrief with the instructor, review your photo/video selections, then hydrate and refuel with a snack at the café.

Photo/Video Package

  1. What’s included: a multi-angle video and a gallery of 100+ high-resolution photos capturing the ascent, exit, and canopy ride; delivered as digital files with an option for a USB copy.
  2. Delivery window and rights: processed within 24–48 hours; you’ll receive a download link and rights to share with family or on social media.
  3. Upgrades and costs: add on GoPro clips or custom edits; all costs are itemized at checkout and may vary by group size and turnaround time.
  4. Notes: the package provides a rich memory of the day; some guests also combine this with a weekend in nang or a trip to the south coast for additional activities; the experience can be extended with a post-jump boat ride to explore the rich coastline near the coral areas.

Fitness Check

  1. Required prerequisites: a short health questionnaire and a maximum weight limit; individuals with medical conditions should obtain clearance; the check ensures you can safely handle altitude exposure and the physical demands of the jump.
  2. Diet and fueling: vegetarian options are available on-site; plan a light, balanced meal ahead of the session and stay hydrated; after the jump, a small snack helps recover energy and refuel for travel.
  3. Preparation tips: wear snug athletic clothing and closed-toe shoes; secure long hair and remove loose jewelry; the team draws on training concepts from Interlaken and other European centres to help you stay calm and focused; if you’re traveling from italy or nang, allow extra time for transit to the Oceanside centre and potential weather delays.
  4. On-site reminders: your group’s safety is the priority; this will include clear instructions and checks performed by the centre staff to maximize your safety and the day’s satisfaction; their careful approach helps ensure you’ll have a memorable experience.

What to wear, gear, and packing tips for a 13,000-ft jump

Wear a moisture-wicking base layer under a windproof jumpsuit or fitted skydiving suit; choose synthetic or merino wool and skip cotton to stay warm during the ascent and the 13,000-ft exposure. Add a lightweight fleece or thin mid-layer for extra warmth, and opt for closed-toe shoes with good grip.

Gear essentials: a beanie or balaclava under the helmet, windproof gloves, and goggles with a secure strap. Bring a thin neck gaiter and a small towel for sweat management; pack a backup phone charger and a compact camera mount if you plan to capture the flight. The aircraft crew will inspect harness fit; tandem instructors will ensure your gear does not interfere with the operation. Let adrenalines surge in a controlled, guided environment.

Packing tips: keep valuables in a small dry bag and attach it to your person so nothing can bounce loose during the ride. Limit jewelry and metal accessories. Include spare batteries, memory cards, lens cloth, and a light snack for tasting after landing; this setup makes the experience enjoyable for you and your photos.

Travel context and extras: if you’re coming from the ocean or pacific coast and the season offers views of a distant glacier, plan for cooler air and higher UV, and wear wraparound sunglasses for the ascent. For thrill-seekers, the guided crew offers options during peak hours and can tailor a package to your adrenaline levels; only book through official channels to secure available slots. If you’re visiting from Karnataka, add a buffer day for travel and acclimation, and arrive inspired and positive about the jump.

Final notes: arrive early, meet your guided tandem team, and confirm pickup and drop-off arrangements with your haven near the drop zone. After the jump, celebrate with a quick debrief, enjoy tasting samples from local treats, and share the ocean view with your instructor and photographer. Booking in advance helps you accommodate your schedule and lock in a memorable, enjoyable experience, with you enjoying every moment.

Step-by-step experience: briefing, harness, exit, freefall, and canopy

Book your Oceanside Tandem 13000ft slot and add the camera package to secure the crew; the briefing starts on time and is based on your experience, weight, and comfort. Make sure your ticket is confirmed in advance; theyre ready to capture you with angles from the moment you step into the door, delivering true photography you can share with friends and family.

Briefing covers safety steps, exit cues, and harness arrangement. The instruction includes the required safety checks, clear signals, and how to communicate with the instructor during the jump.

During harness fitting, the crew weighing your weight and adjusting straps ensures a snug, comfortable fit. They verify the quick-release and reserve toggles, then run a final safety review.

At the door, you adopt a stable arch, extend your arms, and the countdown begins. The instructor helps you step into the air and releases you smoothly into the jump.

You enter the freefall, speeds around 120-180 mph depending on posture and weight; you feel sustained falls of air as you rotate and stabilize, then the canopy deploys when signaled by the instructor.

Under canopy, you relax, follow the instructor’s cues, and steer with the toggles. The landing guide aims for a gentle touchdown at the designated zone, and the glide offers a clear view of the coastline, landmarks, and surrounding terrain.

The closing phase emphasizes safety and memory: if problems occur, the crew handles them immediately; after landing you receive the footage and the memory card with some shots from destinations including queenstown, interlaken, africa, plus local coastlines. This adds context to the step-by-step experience and helps you plan future jumps.

Photo and video details: what’s included, delivery timeline, and how to request special shots

For a hassle-free memory of your Oceanside tandem jump, choose the standard photo and video package. It includes high-resolution stills and a full jump video, with optional add-ons available if you want extra coverage.

  • High-resolution still photos captured from multiple angles during the ascent, exit, and canopy phase.
  • A complete jump video in MP4 format, with clean, clear clips suitable for sharing.
  • An optional recap clip (around 30–60 seconds) suitable for social media and quick memories.
  • A secure online gallery with roman-inspired labeling to help you order prints and edits quickly.
  • Murano glass-inspired thumbnail options for gallery covers and client-ready previews.
  • Vegetarian options are available at the dropzone cafe; you can plan meals around travel days.

Delivery timeline: We deliver standard edits within 5–7 business days after the jump. If you need faster access, choose an expedited option that delivers within 2–3 days. Files come in high-resolution JPGs for photos and MP4 for video. You’ll receive a private, limited-access link for download and a backup archive kept with your name in the system.

How to request special shots: follow these steps to tailor the set to your preferences while staying within dropzone safety limits.

  1. When booking or at check-in, state your preferred shots and angles. Mention the California location, your known travel plans, and any must-have moments between the ascent and canopy ride.
  2. Provide shot ideas you want to prioritize: gear close-ups (helmet, harness, parachute), a floating-blue canopy shot, a mount-side profile, or a wide shot that captures the largest backdrop of the coast or mountains.
  3. Request optional add-ons: a Murano thumbnail design, roman numerals for file labeling, and a short on-strap close-up clip for social sharing. Confirm preferred formats (JPG for stills, MP4 for video) and the delivery timeline.
  4. Discuss conditions with the crew. If weather or air traffic limits some shots, the photographer will propose the best available alternates while keeping the iconic jump feel. If the jump must stop due to safety, the team will reschedule or adjust the shot plan as needed.
  5. After the flight, review the proofs in the private gallery and flag any additional requests. We can mount the final files to your window of travel dates, between a busy schedule and scenic stops, and deliver within your preferred timeframe.

Fitness prerequisites: cardio baseline, strength pointers, and recovery strategies

Start with a cardio baseline of 20–25 minutes, three sessions weekly, at a steady, conversational pace. After four weeks, retest with a 1.5-mile time to gauge progress. This view of your endurance helps you pace the climbs and stay relaxed during the iconic Oceanside jump. If you train in adventurous climates such as the daintree, adjust hydration and heat; the same routine translates through weather and terrain. For skydivers taking the 13,000 ft dives, this cardio base keeps your ground presence and confidence there on the day. Track progress from week to week to stay motivated and mindful of the nature of the effort you’re building.

Strength pointers: three weekly sessions focusing on legs, hips, and core. Do goblet squats or barbell back squats 3×8–12, walking lunges 3×10 per leg, step-ups 3×12, and Romanian deadlifts 3×8–12. Add planks and side planks 3×30–60 seconds for trunk control. Progress by adding 5–10% weight every 2–3 weeks, keep rests at 60–90 seconds. Include mobility after workouts: hip openers, thoracic rotations, and ankle mobility. Follow an expert tip from barbara: brace your core, exhale on the lift, and move with control. Focus on both cardio and strength with points such as posture, tempo, and breath. This approach, based on years of practice, keeps you true for skydivers, there for the briefing and preparation before the jump.

Recovery strategies: sleep 7–9 hours, protein 20–40 g within 45–60 minutes post-workout, and hydrate with electrolytes when training in heat. Include 10–15 minutes of mobility work after workouts: hip hinges, thoracic rotations, and calf and ankle mobility. Use active recovery days with light walks or swimming and relax the shoulders. During trips to Fiji or Burano, or while on tours, plan recovery around flights and time zones; choose meals including protein, carbohydrates, and electrolytes to support restoration, and opt for rich fueling options like yogurt, nuts, and whole grains. If you book a longer training block, compare price and value among options and pick a plan that fits your schedule and budget. This approach keeps you true to your plan and ready for iconic moments on jump days.

Weather and safety considerations: wind limits, instructor roles, and reschedule policy

Cancel and rebook promptly if wind limits are exceeded; our hassle-free reschedule policy lets you move to the next available timeslot at no extra cost, preserving comfort and the best possible experience.

Weather and safety: the marine breeze along the coast can shift rapidly from calm to brisk, especially near high cliffs and open water. Known limits depend on the operator, but you should expect a clear guidance in the pre-flight briefing. Winds and gusts are logged in the day’s weather brief and posted for staff, instructors, and reserve teams to review before any jump. Always check the forecast and the current speeds on site, and never rely on guesswork when you’re about to leap toward the highest adrenaline rush you’ve logged so far.

Instructor roles: the instructor leads the entire process, from harness fit and altimeter checks to final jump decisions. Theyre responsible for safety signals, clear communication, and the use of the reserve if necessary. They give a concise briefing on body position, exit technique, and the slide path into landings. Instructors stay with you at all times and can call off a jump if conditions compromise comfort or control, ensuring your experiences stay safe and enjoyable.

Reschedule policy: if weather falls outside safety criteria, you can reserve a new slot within the next 14 days with no additional charge. The policy is designed to be hassle-free so you can pick a time that matches available windows, tides, and light for better landscapes and water features during landing. You’ll receive a confirmation promptly and can adjust to a time that fits your travel plan, including daylight windows that show the waterfall and coastal scenery in best detail.

Photography and experiences: the package includes photos and video, with the photographer capturing landscapes and the moment of leaping from the platform. We also shoot water and sky textures to create a vivid gallery–photos, plus cinematic clips–that you can download after the session. For photo junkies, the session is designed to deliver kept shots from multiple angles, with high-quality results that showcase both the oceanic vista and the ground approach. The workflow is logged, so you know when to expect your files.

Global context and availability: our safety standards travel with us, including partners around bellenden coastlines and even Karnataka routes, where times and weather windows differ. Available slots are published daily to keep the process transparent and hassle-free for locals and international guests alike. This approach gives you predictable scheduling and a smooth transition from booking to takeoff, ensuring you stay focused on the moment and not on logistics.

Operational notes: stay mindful of canopies’ speeds after deployment, and remember that walking the deck line and letting the canopy settle softly helps reduce landing impact. The highest care is taken to avoid sharp shifts in direction or abrupt braking, which can upset balance or comfort. When conditions permit, we aim for steady, controlled entries that feel like a natural glide, keeping your attention on the scenery–marine vistas, rock faces, and the open water–and making the whole experience feel effortless for both first-timers and seasoned skydivers alike.
