点评:It was my first skydive, and I'm absolutely thrilled that I chose to do it in Dubai over the Palm Jumeirah! We flew on August 8, 2026, at 5:15 AM. I'll be honest – the time was a bit of a gamble (more on that below), but the views from above of the sleeping city and the awakening bay were simply unbelievable.
I want to give a special shout‑out to the Skydive Dubai team. I came from another country and don't speak English very confidently, but I never felt a language barrier at all! The instructors and staff explained everything in simple words, used gestures, and showed things clearly – I understood everything from the first go. That took away 90% of my pre‑jump fear.
Also, before my trip, I emailed them from my home country – they replied to every question without any trouble, guided me through each step, and gave plenty of advice. Unfortunately, I couldn't pay in advance (it wasn't available in my country), but on site everything was sorted out quickly and easily.
Huge thanks to my tandem partner Laura and camera operator Peter! These guys are true professionals and such warm‑hearted people. They supported me before the jump, joked around, and created such a relaxed atmosphere that I forgot all about my nerves. Peter captured angles that make the video look like a Hollywood blockbuster, and Laura made the freefall feel comfortable and completely safe.
I also want to mention the vibe inside the plane during the climb. It was incredibly atmospheric – we all sat close to each other, gave fist bumps, patted each other on the shoulders, and cheered one another on. I was amazed that people from so many different countries – including me – came together like that before the jump! Almost no one seemed scared – just excited and pumped. And the views from above of the Palm Jumeirah were spectacular – the city was waking up beneath us, and it was mesmerising.
The actual jump went by really fast. I left the plane and breathing felt a bit heavy (my ears didn't pop), which was obviously due to the high speed. The most important thing is to keep smiling and look at the camera so you get those epic shots. After that comes the calm canopy ride – you can enjoy the beautiful scenery, speed up, slow down, and even steer a little (they let me try controlling the parachute – it was so cool!).
I came with my relatives, and they were comfortably seated inside the centre. While I was getting ready and going through the briefing, they waited in the lounge area. When it was time for my jump, there was a separate outdoor viewing deck where they could watch skydivers descend and land. My family recorded videos and cheered for me in real time – it was amazing to have them there.
A few important tips for first‑timers:
1. Booking and payment: We arrived in Dubai on August 1 (in the middle of scorching heat), but slots still sell out like crazy! The earliest available was only on the 8th. We paid on site in cash (dirhams) – no issues at all. The price was 2,499 dirhams, which is absolutely fair for this level of emotion and service.
2. Jump time: Don't book the very first slot like I did. In August at 5:15 AM, the humidity is brutal and the sky looks hazy. BUT – the sunrise saved everything – the colours were so soft and golden, like a painting. If you want clear blue skies and crisp photos, go for a later time.
3. Actual duration: The website says the whole experience takes 3–4 hours. But since I had the earliest slot, it took less than an hour! From filling in the form to landing and walking out of the centre, about 60 minutes passed. Everything was quick, smooth, and no unnecessary waiting.
4. Photos & video: They promise delivery within 48–72 hours, but mine took a full week. I emailed them – they replied politely and asked me to wait. The delay was a bit disappointing, but when I finally saw the edit – I take it all back!
Final verdict: The video and photos are stunning – slow‑mo, angles, my reactions – everything is made with heart. Thank you, Skydive Dubai, Laura, Peter, and the whole team for this priceless experience! I highly recommend it to everyone – don't be afraid!❤️
翻译:那是我第一次跳伞,我真的非常高兴自己选择在迪拜而非朱美拉棕榈岛进行这项体验!我们于2026年8月8日凌晨5点15分出发。说实话,这个时间选择有些冒险(详情见下文),但从高空俯瞰沉睡中的城市以及渐渐苏醒的海湾,景色简直美得难以置信。
我要特别感谢迪拜跳伞团队的每一位成员。我是从国外来的,英语说得并不是很流利,但整个过程中我完全没有感受到任何语言障碍!教练和工作人员用简单的语言进行讲解,配合手势并清晰地演示动作——我一听就完全明白了。这让我原本对跳伞的恐惧感减少了90%。
另外,出发前我从祖国给他们发邮件,他们毫无阻碍地回复了我的所有问题,一步步指导我该怎么做,还给了我许多实用建议。遗憾的是,我当时无法提前付款(我国不提供这种支付方式),但在现场一切都迅速且顺利地得到了解决。非常感谢我的搭档劳拉以及摄像师彼得!他们都是真正的专业人士,也是极其热心善良的人。他们在我跳伞前给予我支持、和我开玩笑,营造出了轻松愉快的氛围,让我完全忘却了紧张情绪。彼得拍摄的角度让视频看起来宛如好莱坞大片,而劳拉则让自由落体的过程显得舒适又安心。
我还要提一下飞机爬升阶段的氛围。氛围简直棒极了——我们都紧紧围坐在一起,互相碰拳、拍肩,还为彼此加油鼓劲。令我惊讶的是,包括我在内的来自众多不同国家的人们竟能在跳下前如此团结!几乎没人显得害怕,全都兴奋不已、热情高涨。从高处俯瞰朱美拉棕榈岛的景色也令人叹为观止——我们脚下的城市正在苏醒,景象迷人至极。
真正的跳跃过程则转瞬即逝。我走下飞机后,呼吸有些费力(耳朵也没有出现“噗”一声的减压感),这显然是由于高速飞行导致的。最重要的是要保持微笑并看向镜头,这样才能拍出超酷的照片。之后便是平稳的降落伞飞行——你可以尽情欣赏美丽的景色,可以加速、减速,甚至稍微操纵方向(他们还让我尝试控制降落伞——真是太酷了!)。
我是和亲戚们一起来的,他们都舒舒服服地坐在中心区域。在我做准备并听取简报时,他们在休息区等候。到了跳伞时间后,有一个专门的户外观景台,他们可以在那里观看跳伞者缓缓下降并着陆。我的家人录下了整个过程,还实时为我加油打气——有他们在现场真是太棒了。
给初次体验者的几点重要提示:
1. 预订与付款:我们于8月1日抵达迪拜(正值酷热时节),但跳伞名额依然很快就被抢光了!最早可预约的时间是8号。我们在现场用现金(迪拉姆)付款,全程没有任何问题。价格为2,499迪拉姆,对于这种水准的体验和服务来说绝对物有所值。
2. 拍摄时间:千万别像我一样选择最早的时段。8月份凌晨5点15分时,湿度极高,天空也显得朦胧模糊。不过——日出拯救了一切:阳光呈现出柔和的金色色调,宛如一幅画作。如果你希望拥有湛蓝的天空以及清晰漂亮的照片,建议选择稍晚一点的时间。实际耗时:网站上写着整个体验过程需要3到4小时。但由于我预约的是最早的时段,实际上用时不到1小时!从填写表格到顺利离开中心,总共才花了约60分钟。整个过程迅速又顺畅,没有任何不必要的等待。
4. 照片与视频:他们承诺在48至72小时内提供照片和视频,但我的资料足足等了一周才收到。我给他们发邮件询问,他们礼貌回复并让我耐心等待。这样的延迟确实有些令人失望。不过当我最终看到剪辑后的成品时——我收回之前的所有话!
最终评价:视频和照片都棒极了——慢动作、拍摄角度、我的反应……每一处都倾注了心血。感谢迪拜跳伞公司、劳拉、彼得以及整个团队带给我如此珍贵的体验!我强烈推荐给所有人——别犹豫了,放心去尝试吧!❤️
