Yes, we highly recommend making a reservation to ensure that you are able to get the date and the time that suits you best. This is especially important for weekend reservations as we are often fully booked. 

However, we will always do our best to fit you in at short notice. Please call our offices before walking in, so we can let you know about availability and current weather conditions. 

You can make a reservation online through our website by following this link:  https://bookings.burblesoft.com/index/1111/18

Alternatively, please call our offices at 705-458-9339, and one of our consultants will be able to assist you. (We are unable to make reservations over email.) 

The morning time slots are highly recommended because skydiving is a weather dependent sport. This will allow you the maximum number of hours that day to complete your skydive.

Yes, please either call or email our office to reschedule. This can be done up to 24 hours before your reservation.

The experience usually takes half the day. However, because we are a 100% weather dependent sport, a delay could happen at any time and without notice. It is for this reason that we ask that you allow as much time as possible. Being anxious about the time because you have other engagements can affect your enjoyment level. 

Skydive Toronto is easily accessible from downtown Toronto using GO Transit. Please visit GO Transit or use Google Maps for instructions on how to get to Skydive Toronto from your current location.

No, before enrolling in one of our solo student progressions, it is mandatory to complete a tandem skydive as a prerequisite. If you did your prerequisite jump at another location, proof of your skydive will be required before you can enroll.

Modern parachutes are designed to perform in the same manner as an aircraft wing. The tandem instructor will “flare” the parachute at the correct height from the ground and slow down your descent to create lift for a smooth, gentle landing. 

Skydiving in Canada is governed by the Canadian Sport Parachuting Association or CSPA. Please visit their website at www.cspa.ca for more information. 

You will be partnered with one of our experienced instructors who has a proper Tandem Instructor rating. Our instructors have many years of experience and thousands of skydives to their name.

By regulatory standards, when equipment is made for skydiving, it must have two parachutes: one is your primary parachute and the second parachute is your emergency backup. In the event that your main parachute malfunctions, your instructor will handle the procedures required to transition to your secondary, backup parachute. 

Comfortable activewear is best. It is always cooler up in the air than on the ground, so bring an extra warm top. It’s better to have it and not need it than the other way around. Please don’t wear heels, sandals, or boots that have hooks on the laces. Running shoes are your best option. 

In cooler weather, it is very important to pay attention to your clothing. Bring extra thermal layers, gloves, neck buffs, and toques without pom-poms (that way they can fit underneath your protective headgear).

If you’re unsure about what to wear for your specific reservation, please contact our offices and we can give you more individualized information. 

Government photo identification is critical—a valid passport, driver’s licence, or health card. It must be produced for all participants. 

Your reservation time is your arrival time at Skydive Toronto. If you are scheduled for 1 pm, please arrive onsite at 1 pm. 

Yes. We have picnic tables, umbrellas, and a large spectator area. You are also welcome to bring your own food and refreshments, provided they are non-alcoholic.

Extra altitude and media packages are selected and paid for on the day of your skydive. 

We have examples playing for you to see, which will help you make your decision based on the end result you prefer. 

All of the media packages have different features, and it is ultimately your choice which you prefer. Please watch the following videos for examples.

Media Packages

Unfortunately not. Our governing body, the Canadian Sport Parachuting Association, requires that any skydiver taking a camera up has a minimum of 200 skydives. 

In ground school you will be taught all of the fundamentals required to execute emergency procedures. In the event that your main parachute malfunctions, you will already have the knowledge to transition from your main parachute to your secondary backup parachute, in case the need arises.

Both methods of training will get you to your Solo Certification with the Canadian Sport Parachuting Association, but the methods of training are different. Both programs have their strengths and weaknesses, and it greatly depends on your financial situation and the time you have available. 

We graduate more students from PFF to becoming Solo Certified, year after year.

Please read over the difference between GFP and PFF. 
 

Skydiving in Canada is governed by the Canadian Sport Parachuting Association or CSPA. Please visit their website at www.cspa.ca for more information. 

This is dependent on which method of training you choose, as the GFP and PFF courses have different pricing. Please visit this link for more information.

In both programs, the assumption is that you will successfully complete each level the first time around. Should you need to repeat a level, there will be additional costs.

Our camp-style solo progression programs dedicate a week to your progression. Based on weather and your own poersonal progress, more or less time may be required.

Solo Certification is recognized in Canada only. It allows you to travel and skydive at any dropzone within Canada. 

The next step is your A licence; this licence is recognized internationally. 

Yes, we do require a reservation for the Solo First Jump Course/Ground School, as well as the subsequent jumps during your progression. You are able to make the reservation for the Solo First Jump Course online or over the phone. When you want to book your subsequent jumps, please call or email our office. 

Solo students in GFP and PFF don’t have media package options. 

Skydiving isn’t like riding a bicycle in the sense that once you’ve done it, you won’t ever forget how to do it. A critical part of mitigating the risk of skydiving is how often you jump—we refer to this as your currency. There is an increase in risk that comes with not being familiar in the environment; our governing body, the Canadian Sport Parachuting Association, has given very strict regulations. If you have not jumped in 365 days, you are required to repeat your Ground School.
