Safety is our foremost priority!  Like rock-climbing, mountain biking or skiing, skydiving has its own inherent risks. Risks are minimized with knowledge. By studying and understanding the risks involved, they can be dealt with in the safest possible manner.

We are affiliated with the Canadian Sport Parachuting Association (CSPA). The CSPA is Canada’s main skydive regulation governing body. We are proud to support and adhere to their methods of licensing and training.  Our skydiving equipment undergoes routine maintenance to also minimize any risks. All of our coaches and instructors are certified under the CSPA programs that have been developed over the last 6 decades.

Be prepared for unforeseen delays such as weather and aviation traffic.  Allow up to 3 hours for the total experience.

If you are Learning to skydive solo be prepared for a 5 hour “First Jump Course” typically starting at 9am on Saturday mornings. Following the 5 hour class, the jump itself will take 30 minutes of preparation, 15 minutes of flight time, and 5 minutes of freefall and canopy flight. Be prepared for unforeseen delays such as weather and aviation traffic.  Allow up to 7 hours for the total experience.

We jump whenever the weather permits. We require a clear view of the landing area in order to jump. If the clouds are too low or the winds are too high, we may not be permitted to skydive. In the event of a weather delay, an option to reschedule will be offered at a more convenient time.(depending on availability). Weather delays will be at the discretion of Campbell River Skydive Centre and may occur last minute. There will be no cost associated with rebooking.

Bring warm comfortable clothes as it may be colder at altitude. However on a warm sunny day you can easily get away with wearing shorts/leggings and a t-shirt. We do not recommend dresses or skirts. Campbell River Skydive Centre will provide jumpsuits that will cover your entire outfit if you wish. Also please bring good running shoes or hiking boots to jump in – no sandals or heels and ideally no lace hooks on your boots. We will provide you with googles for your jump. We can also provide you with an optional leather frap hat if you prefer the ‘shot out of a cannon’ look.

You’ll be wearing goggles during your skydive which we provide for you. Just let us know when you arrive and we’ll make the accommodations necessary.

According to the CSPA (Canadian Sport Parachute Association) you must have at least 200 skydives in order to fly with a camera. We gladly offer footage packages for your jump with professional skydive videographers. However family and friends are more than welcome to film and photograph as you get in the plane and land under canopy.

No! you exit the plane travelling at around 140 kmh forward and gradually transition to falling downwards. This transition means people typically don’t get that falling feeling commonly associated with rollercoasters or bungee jumping.
