What the standard package includes
Skydive Dubai's standard ticket includes the jump, accident insurance, a standard video and photos. A camera flyer films you. This is a separate skydiver who boards with you and your instructor and jumps beside you, so the footage shows you from the outside. Before boarding, you record a short interview with the camera flyer and get a few photos on the runway.
The operator does not publish the length of the video or the number of photos. Headout's listing calls it a 3-minute edited video. All three partner cards sell this package, so the media is already in the price you see above; the price page lists both dropzones.
You can jump without media, but you book that ticket through the reservations team, not online. At the Palm Dropzone that ticket costs AED 2,449, and at the Desert Campus AED 1,899 (published, checked November 2026). That is AED 300 less than the standard package at either dropzone.

Your own phone, GoPro or smart glasses
Skydive Dubai publishes no rule about tandem passengers carrying a phone or a GoPro. Its only camera rule says you may wear your own camera if you are a licensed skydiver with over 200 jumps. A first-time tandem passenger does not meet that rule, so expect to fly without your own camera. Smart glasses that can record, such as Meta glasses, are not allowed anywhere on the premises. That rule is written down. Ordinary prescription glasses are fine: you get protective goggles to wear over them.
How to look good in the footage
The operator's dress code also decides how you look on camera: athletic clothes in a darker colour, because white and light colours get dirty, shorts that cover the thigh and laced sneakers. The full list of what is and is not allowed is on requirements.
The operator publishes nothing on hair, jewellery or things in your pockets. Ask at check-in what to remove before you board. Use the interview: look at the camera flyer and say who the jump is for. It is the only part of the video where you can plan what happens.
If the video does not arrive
Wait the full 48 hours and check your spam folder. Then email info@skydivedubai.ae for the Palm Dropzone or school@skydivedubai.ae for the Desert Campus. Give your name, jump date and booking reference. If the camera failed, a technical fault or human error spoiled the footage, or the weather did, the case goes to Skydive Dubai's management. You may then get back the money paid for the camera package. If you booked through a platform, tell the platform too, because it holds your payment; tickets explains who refunds what.
Questions people ask
Are photos and video included in the Skydive Dubai price?
Yes. The standard ticket, and every partner card above, includes a video and photos. Skydive Dubai published AED 2,749 for this package at the Palm Dropzone when we checked in November 2026.
How long does it take to get the video?
Skydive Dubai says the video and photos reach your inbox within 48 hours of the jump.
How long is the skydiving video?
Skydive Dubai does not publish the length of the standard video. Headout's listing describes it as a 3-minute edited video; the paid Instagram reel lasts one minute.
Can I take my own GoPro or phone on a tandem?
There is no published rule for tandem passengers. The only camera rule Skydive Dubai publishes is that you need a skydiving licence and more than 200 jumps to wear your own camera, so do not plan to film yourself.
Can I skip the video to pay less?
At the Palm Dropzone a jump without photos or video costs AED 2,449 (published, checked November 2026). You cannot book it online: you contact the reservations team, and the add-ons are not available with it.
What if my video is missing or poor?
Email info@skydivedubai.ae (Palm Dropzone) or school@skydivedubai.ae (Desert Campus) with your booking details. If the camera failed, the case goes to management, and you may get back the money paid for the camera package.
