Fantastic experience!!
We went on a clear day, the flight ride was great. It’s like two experiences in one, would definitely recommend it if you are on a South Africa trip.

My self and my wife booked tandem skydives on our trip to South Africa and could not rate this company highly enough. Due to the changing weather our skydives were bought forward a day giving us clear blue skies to land on the beach. All the staff we met were friendly, professional and relaxed which makes the whole experience so much better. We will of course book when we return next year.

One of the best experiences of my life! The crew was amazing, the weather was perfect, my tandem instructor, Arnold, helped to keep the smile on my face and keep the fear away. If skydiving in Mossel Bay is not on your bucketlist, your bucketlist needs an update!

This is a lovely place to go skydiving. The location is beautiful, the staff are friendly and relaxed and the plane ride on the King Air is a great scenic flight with an amazing view of the oceaan and Mossel Bay.

4 of us were travelling together from Iceland and did the tandem dive. We were incredibly happy with the jump. The instructors were all friendly and professional and the videos from the trip were also amazing. I never felt unsafe at anypoint and wouldnt hesitate to do this again!

Hey, we are heading to Mossel Bay from Stellenbosch on the 24th of March. Is it a good time of the year for skydiving? What time do you suggest for me to schedule for the best view / pictures? Should I book in your website?
Thank you very much

Hi. I wanted to know whih slot is best suited if someone plans to stay put at Knysna or Mossel Bay. Secondly i plan to do the skydive on Sept 26 2017 tentatively. How would the weather be at this time of the year. with regards to photography which time is suited the best for skydive..Early morning/Afternoon/Early evening. How much time before the booked slot should a person come in advance to the airfield ...?

Hi Abhi,
Knysna is around 1 hour driving time from Skydive Mossel Bay and if you stay in Mossel Bay town, it will take you approximately 15 minutes to reach us.
The weather this time of the year is generally very good with the early mornings or later afternoons probably the best time to skydive and get your video/ photos done due to more favorable light angles.
When you book, you will get an arrival time at the airfield as opposed to a slot time, so just go with that. Please confirm your booking with Monica using our booking email or telephone number.
Hope to meet you soon!

Hi, I'm planing to do skydiving next winter, so is that a good time for diving?
Other question
Can I bring my own camera ( GoPro )?
Henk Van Wyk
Mossel Bay, South Africa2 contributions
Hi Abdulla,
Mossel Bay has the 2nd most moderate climate in the world (Hawaii beats us with a small percentage!)
This means we have skydiving all year and any month of the year is good. The northern hemisphere winter is of course our summer time in South Africa and particularly the months of January, February and March are excellent for skydiving.
But really, any time is good!
The use of your own GOPRO can be discussed, but there are safety issues we need to consider.
Looking forward to hearing from you again and booking your skydive with us.
Regards

Hi,
I'm travelling in July. I plan to do sky diving on 11th July.
I had a couple of questions:-
What is the cost including the video?
Is it recommended to do advance booking? I'll be staying at Knysna so in which slot should i book?
Will July be a good time i.e. will the season be favourable?
Henk Van Wyk
Mossel Bay, South Africa2 contributions
Dear Harsh,
The cost of a tandem skydive from 10,000ft, inclusive of a video, photos, and a nifty certificate of your jump is R3000 per person.
It is a good idea to book with us in advance. The easiest way to book is to use our online booking system or to send us and email with your requirements.
If you are traveling from Knysna, a slot around 10:00 or 11:00 should be best for you.
July is a great time for tandem skydiving in Mossel Bay.
Regards
Henk van Wyk

2.what sort of fitness is needed?

Hi Chetannp,
I apologise for this late reply.
1. You may wear spectacles as long as they are able to fit under our large style protective skydive goggles.
2.You dont have to be very fit, but should have resonble strenght and mobility. If you can jog for a short 20 meters you should be fine. You should also be able to lift your knees up towards you chest during the landing phase of the jump.
3. We have people of 90 years old doing tandem skydiving! You should be fine!
