Tandem skydiving in Bali is planned around a self-declared health screen at booking, followed by a signed medical declaration on the day of the jump. Pregnancy rules you out entirely. Recent major surgery, a heart condition, or uncontrolled blood pressure needs a doctor’s clearance first. This is standard practice at tandem drop zones worldwide, not a Sky Dive Bali-specific rule yet — Sky Dive Bali (Juara Holding Group) confirms its own declaration form and exact medical policy when the drop zone opens. Until then, this page tells you what to expect before you reserve your spot.
What health conditions usually clear you for a tandem jump?
Most healthy adults pass a self-declared screen without issue. The table below reflects the pattern used broadly across tandem skydiving worldwide — a starting point, not a diagnosis, until Sky Dive Bali confirms its own version for the Buleleng drop zone.
| Condition | Typical status |
|---|---|
| General good health, no chronic illness | Usually fine |
| Controlled asthma (inhaler on hand) | Usually fine |
| Controlled, medicated diabetes | Usually fine |
| Glasses or contact lenses | Usually fine (secured under goggles) |
| Old, fully healed back or neck injury | Usually fine — flag it on the form |
| High blood pressure (uncontrolled) | Needs a doctor’s letter |
| Heart condition (any diagnosed) | Needs a doctor’s letter |
| Epilepsy or a seizure history | Needs a doctor’s letter |
| Recent major surgery (within months) | Needs a doctor’s letter |
| Active pregnancy | Not permitted |
| Acute back, neck or shoulder injury | Not permitted until healed and cleared |
Two figures sit outside this table because Sky Dive Bali has not confirmed them yet: exact weight and height limits, and any age-related conditions. Tandem operators internationally commonly work with a general weight ceiling near 100 kg and a height floor near 140 cm, plus a minimum age of 18 (16 with parental consent in some jurisdictions) — a widely used planning benchmark, not a promise, until Sky Dive Bali publishes its own numbers for this drop zone.
What should not happen right before a jump?
Timing matters as much as the underlying condition. A few ordinary pre-trip choices can affect whether you’re fit to jump that morning, independent of medical history.
| Activity | Guidance |
|---|---|
| Scuba diving | Avoid within 24 hours of a jump (standard decompression rule) |
| Heavy drinking | Avoid the night before — plan a clear-headed morning |
| Sedatives or strong medication | Flag it to the team; some affect balance and reaction time |
| Eating a large meal beforehand | Keep it light — nerves and freefall don’t mix with a full stomach |
| Arriving straight off a long-haul flight | Build in a rest day if you can — fatigue affects judgment |
Why does a diagnosed heart condition or uncontrolled blood pressure change anything?
It’s not the jump itself in isolation — freefall stresses the cardiovascular system briefly but sharply, and a doctor’s letter is how a drop zone confirms a guest’s heart and blood pressure can handle that spike. This is a routine safety threshold used across tandem skydiving generally, not a Sky Dive Bali-specific policy yet. Expect Sky Dive Bali to publish its own medical policy, including whether any age threshold applies, once bookings open at the Buleleng drop zone.
Can the desk pre-approve a condition by email?
No. The Sky Dive Bali desk isn’t staffed by medical professionals, and email is not a substitute for a doctor’s assessment. This page is not medical advice. If a condition above needs a letter, the desk can’t waive that by reading your email — it can only tell you what to bring on the day. Anyone managing a heart condition, recent surgery, pregnancy, or another listed condition should talk to their own doctor before travelling to Bali for a jump, not after arriving.
What does the tandem experience cost, and what’s included?
Sky Dive Bali has published one figure for planning purposes. Everything else on the roster is described as planned, with pricing to follow at launch.
| Package | What’s included | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Standard tandem jump | Skydive Buleleng drop zone, certified USPA-standard tandem instructor, exit up to 14,000 ft, roughly 60 seconds of freefall, photo and video package | USD 1,200 all-inclusive |
| Couples jump | Two tandem slots, shared timing | Planned — price at launch |
| Group or corporate booking | Multiple tandem slots, coordinated scheduling | Planned — price at launch |
| Gift voucher | Prepaid tandem slot for someone else | Planned — price at launch |
| VIP option | Enhanced coordination around the jump | Planned — price at launch |
Waiting-list members are told they’ll get priority slot allocation and 2026 pricing locked in once bookings open — that benefit, and the value of booking alongside a sister-brand trip (Sky Dive Bali (Juara Holding Group) villas, Sky Dive Bali (Juara Holding Group) charters, or Sky Dive Bali (Juara Holding Group)), is described in words only. No discount percentage or second price appears anywhere on this site.
How does booking actually work right now?
Sky Dive Bali is a waiting-list desk, not an open booking system:
- Read the medical guidance above and note anything that applies to you or your group.
- Go to the homepage Reserve My Spot form at theskydivebali.com/#book-form.
- Enter your email and add a short note if a listed condition applies — this flags your file, it doesn’t approve it.
- Watch your inbox for a reply from bd@juaraholding.com — the only channel the desk uses.
- Wait for the launch announcement. No opening date, slot count, or response time is confirmed yet, so the desk won’t speculate on any of those by email.
There’s no WhatsApp number, phone line, or chat widget for Sky Dive Bali anywhere on this site — email is the only contact method while the service stays at waiting-list stage.
Reserve your spot
If your health profile is straightforward, add your email to the list today. If something on the tables above applies to you, add a short note about it when you register — the desk will flag your file and let you know what to bring once Skydive Buleleng opens for bookings. Reserve My Spot → Questions before then go to bd@juaraholding.com.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does an earlier scuba dive stop me from jumping in Bali?
Only within 24 hours of the jump — the standard rule against decompression risk when moving quickly between diving and flying. Leave at least a full day between a dive and a tandem jump, and mention your dive schedule when you register so the desk can flag it.
I take daily blood pressure medication — do I need a doctor’s letter?
Controlled, medicated blood pressure is generally treated like any other managed condition — it’s uncontrolled blood pressure that tandem drop zones commonly flag. Bring your regular medication and mention it on the self-declared form; Sky Dive Bali confirms its exact wording when the drop zone opens.
Can I jump if I’m pregnant?
No — pregnancy is excluded from tandem skydiving everywhere it’s offered. This isn’t a case a doctor’s letter can override; it applies regardless of trimester or how the pregnancy is progressing. Wait until after your pregnancy to reserve a jump date.
What if I have an old back injury that’s fully healed?
A fully healed, old injury with no ongoing symptoms is generally treated as usually fine, but flag it on your declaration form so the team has the full picture. An acute or unhealed injury is different and isn’t permitted until it has fully healed and been cleared.
Will the desk tell me by email if I’m medically cleared to jump?
No — the desk can register your interest and flag a note on your file, but it can’t pre-approve any condition by email, since it isn’t staffed by medical professionals. Conditions needing a doctor’s letter still need an actual doctor’s assessment before you travel; the desk’s role is limited to telling you what to bring on the day.
