<\/p>\n
Indoor skydiving is a relatively new concept but has quickly caught on in the short time it has been around. To the uninitiated, indoor skydiving involves a vertical tunnel where conditions for a free fall are recreated through stimulation. Here\u2019s a technical breakdown of how indoor skydiving works:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\n- A vertical wind tunnel with fans at the top draws air through the flight chamber and then pushes it back down the sides through Return Air Towers (RATs).<\/li>\n
- The air is \u2018turned\u2019 from the RATs into the bottom of the tunnel and back up toward the flight chamber through an inlet contractor.<\/li>\n
- The inlet contractor reduces the space the air can travel in, thus compressing and speeding up the air before it reenters the flight chamber.<\/li>\n
- The result: a smooth column of air that enables you to fly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Here’s why indoor skydiving is perfect for newcomers<\/h3>\n\n- Offering the experience of regular skydiving without any of the risks involved, indoor skydiving is the literal definition of the phrase, \u201cbest of both worlds\u201d.<\/li>\n
- Compared to the outdoor version, indoor skydiving is quite cheap, costing about AED 200 on an average.<\/li>\n
- When you are short on time and have a lot of things you want to experience, indoor skydiving is the way to go. Given that it\u2019s relatively safer than outdoor skydiving, putting all the security measures in place doesn\u2019t take that long and the entire process is much shorter.<\/li>\n
- Children above the age of 2 can go for indoor skydiving, which is not the case with outdoor skydiving in Dubai.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Gyrocopter Flight Dubai<\/h2>\n
What\u2019s a gyrocopter? Well, imagine a helicopter, shrink its size down to half, remove the rotor engine while keeping the rotor blades as is, attach a thrust motor at the back and allow the air flowing across the rotor blades to generate the necessary lift required to fly. It goes without saying that you will be accompanied by a pilot on your gyrocopter journey.<\/p>\n
On a gyrocopter, the blades of the wing are angled such that they rotate in all phases of flight, ensuring that they are extremely safe. The rear motor propels that gyrocopter forward and helps control the direction and altitude of the flight.<\/p>\n
Total Flight Duration<\/strong>: 20-30 minutes<\/p>\nYour Dubai Skydiving Experience Deconstructed<\/h2>\n\n- Your experience begins at the SkyDive Dubai center where upon arrival, you will be requested to fill in the necessary documents and a brief health checkup that includes weighing and measuring your BMI.<\/li>\n
- Half an hour before the flight, you will meet your instructor\/tandem partner who will brief you on the sport, check your harness and provide you with all the necessary instructions.<\/li>\n
- The accompanying camera person will take a brief interview of yours before you take off. Remember to smile, it\u2019s going to be in your skydive video.<\/li>\n
- In the boarding area, there will be a final gear check and a photo op.<\/li>\n
- As you fly to the diving altitude, you will be greeted with immense views of Dubai, the Palm Islands and the surrounding areas. The total flight time to the diving altitude is 20 minutes. These are the last 20 minutes you have in which to settle your nerves before you take the leap.<\/li>\n
- Once the plane reaches 13,000 feet, you will be secured to your expert tandem instructor and together with the camera flyer, you will exit the plane and free fall for nearly 60 seconds, clocking speeds of up to 120 miles\/ hour!<\/li>\n
- At an altitude of 6,000 feet, the parachute will be deployed and over the course of the next 5 minutes, you will gently descend to earth, all this while taking in some truly spectacular views of Dubai.<\/li>\n
- After the touchdown and a post-jump interview, the experience will come to a close. You will be able to collect the video of your jump and any other memorabilia from the store at the center.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Just know that skydiving with an empty or full stomach is not fun. Just keep it light and make sure you’re nourished well before your dive.<\/li>\n
- Get a good sleep the night before. Though it is normal for the excitement of the jump to keep you up all night, try and ensure that do you manage to get some good hours of sleep.<\/li>\n
- Wear the right clothes – athletic and comfortable clothes, sneakers\/sport shoes. Sandals, high heels and shirts with collars won’t be allowed.<\/li>\n
- Be prepared to wait. Skydiving is an extremely weather dependant sport. The SkyDive Dubai officials keep a constant check on the weather monitor to keep track of the winds. If the wind picks up or the weather deteriorates, be prepared to wait. If the conditions are not suitable, your experience may take a little longer.<\/li>\n
- If you’re a female and would want a female tandem instructor, then kindly request the same at the campus.<\/li>\n
- You don’t need to be an athlete to be a skydiver. If you’re weight is under the limit and you live an average healthy lifestyle, you should be good.<\/li>\n
- Relax, breathe, jump and enjoy! Statistically, skydiving is safer than being on the road according to the United States Parachuting Association<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
