00Our verification standard
How an operator earns Verified

Six checks to earn the Verified badge.

Every operator here is a real, working dropzone with public reviews and publicly-sourced pricing. To earn a Verified badge, an operator clears six independent checks — and none are paid for by the operator. No pay-to-play, no sponsored ranking.

  • Operator credentials cross-checked at sourceCHK·05

These are the six checks an operator clears to earn the Verified badge. Until a listing is verified, it's a real operator with public reviews and publicly-sourced pricing.

Operator replies, typically within 24hYou pay only once they confirm
No instant booking — yet. A real person at the dropzone confirms your slot — we never imply a confirmation that hasn't happened.
02The handover
You pay securely

The operator's price. In your currency. Nothing added.

You pay through Stripe once your slot is confirmed. We don't add a booking fee, and we don't mark up the price — what you pay is the operator's real local price.

The price you see is the operator's price. We add nothing on top.

Charged at real local prices and shown in your currency — so there's no mystery exchange rate and no platform surcharge waiting at checkout.

Secured by Stripe · PCI-DSS
Card details never touch our servers
Payment is processed entirely by Stripe. SiA never sees or stores your card number.
No booking fees
Nothing is added on top of the operator's price for booking through SiA.
Real local price, no markup
Shown in your currency, charged at the dropzone's actual local price.
03Pre-flight
Before you arrive

Everything you need lands on your phone.

Between confirmation and jump day, the paperwork is already done — so the morning of, you just show up.

Booking confirmation

A clear confirmation with your dropzone, date and exact meeting point — the moment the operator accepts.

Calendar file

A one-tap .ics so your jump is in your calendar with the right time zone, automatically.

Digital waiver

E-signed from your phone before jump day — so you're not filling forms on a clipboard while your nerves build.

Jump day

Check in, gear up, brief — then the door opens.

On the day, the dropzone runs the show. Four steps on the ground, then roughly 60 seconds of freefall from a typical tandem exit around 13,000 ft.

One honest caveat: weather rules skydiving. Wind and cloud can move your slot — which is exactly why the next two stations exist.

If weather cancels

A weather hold never costs you.

If the dropzone can't fly safely on your date, you're not stuck and you're not out of pocket. Two clean options — your choice.

Option A
Rebook, free

Move to the next slot that suits you at no charge. On a weather hold you can self-reschedule — no waiting on a phone call.

Option B
Full refund

If a new date doesn't work, get the full amount back. Weather is the one thing nobody controls — so it never costs you the booking.

Self-reschedule on weather holds. When the operator calls a weather hold, you can pick a new date yourself from your booking.
06Your call
If you need to cancel

Cancel from your booking — and we're the backstop.

Life happens. You request a cancellation from your booking; the operator decides within 48 hours. If they go quiet, SiA steps in so you're never left arguing alone.

Step 01
You request from your booking

One request, sent to the operator — no foreign-language phone calls, no WhatsApp standoff.

Step 02
Operator decides within 48 hours

The dropzone reviews against their own policy and responds inside two days.

If they don't
SiA steps in as backstop

No response inside 48 hours? We take it from there — that's the whole point of booking through us.

48-hour decision window — with SiA as the backstop if it lapses.
The safety net, as a system

Six things hold the whole journey up.

Read top to bottom, the page is a story. Read it as a system, it's a set of load-bearing guarantees — each one live today, none of them dependent on the others.

Why through SiA

The same jump, with the arguing taken out.

A
One place to compare real operators
Real, working dropzones with public reviews. When an operator claims their listing we verify accreditation, insurance and channels before the Verified badge goes live — so you're choosing between real options, not gambling.
B
Payment protection built in
Stripe handles the money; no surcharge sits on top; weather and cancellation both have a defined path back to your card.
C
English-language support, and a backstop
A refund path that doesn't depend on winning a WhatsApp argument in a foreign country — with SiA behind it if the operator goes quiet.
Now you know how it works

The hardest part is deciding.

Every dropzone is a real operator with public reviews, the payment is already protected, and the weather and cancellation paths are already mapped. All that's left is to choose where.
