Indoor skydiving offers an electrifying adventure, replicating the sensation of free-falling through the sky. Unlike outdoor skydiving, where you jump out of a plane at high altitudes and rely on a parachute to land safely, indoor skydiving takes place inside a vertical wind tunnel.

There, you can experience the same rush of flying adrenaline and weightlessness without worrying about unruly weather conditions spoiling your plans. There is also no need to worry about expensive equipment, rigorous training (or certifications for solo flights) or age restrictions that exclude some of your littlest family members.

If you’re in the UAE and looking for the ultimate indoor skydiving experience to check off your bucket list, then there’s only one place to be: CLYMB™ Yas Island, Abu Dhabi.

CLYMB Abu Dhabi: The Best Indoor Skydiving Destination

Located inside Yas Mall on Yas Island, CLYMB Abu Dhabi is an adventure hub home to the tallest indoor skydiving chamber in the world. At a record-shattering height of 104 feet, a diameter of 32 feet and 16 fans (as opposed to the standard four you’d find at other indoor skydiving facilities), CLYMB Abu Dhabi redefines what it means to fly.

Apart from world-class infrastructure, here are a few reasons why CLYMB Abu Dhabi tops the list of indoor skydiving places in the UAE:

1.    No Previous Training Required

Never been skydiving before? That’s no problem here. CLYMB Abu Dhabi has skilled instructors on-site to guide you through the entire experience. Upon arrival, you’ll be given a brief pre-flight training session, where you’ll learn the basics of body positioning (how to arch your back and stabilize yourself in the air), hand signals and safety protocols.

Once you’re suited up and ready to go, your trainer will accompany you into the wind tunnel for one-on-one flight instruction so you can get the most out of your indoor skydiving experience.

2. Fun for All Ages

Children as little as three years old can participate in indoor skydiving at CLYMB Abu Dhabi, with no upper age limit. This means that the entire family can join in on the fun.

So, whether you’re celebrating a birthday, an anniversary, or just looking for a special bonding experience with your loved ones, you don’t have to leave anyone behind.

3. More Thrilling Activities

You might be headed to CLYMB Abu Dhabi for indoor skydiving, but did you know that within its mountainous landscape-inspired design, you can also scale the region’s tallest indoor climbing wall?

Measuring a whopping 138 feet, The SUMMYT is a multi-pitch climbing wall with 13 routes designed to challenge the most skilled athletes in the world. You can also try your hand on four other climbing walls of varying heights, each labeled according to the experience level required to conquer it, including the Boulder (9.8 feet), the Beginner (18 feet), the Intermediate (33 feet) and the Advanced (72 feet).

4. Several Indoor Skydiving Packages

3 Tips for First-Time Indoor Skydivers

To make the most out of your first indoor skydiving experience at CLYMB Abu Dhabi, remember to:

●      Wear Comfortable, Sporty Clothes

Before your flight, you’ll be given a jumpsuit to wear over your regular clothes, as well as a helmet, goggles and earplugs. However, it’s crucial that you dress comfortably to begin with so you can move around and stretch your limbs easily in the wind tunnel.

For this reason, avoid restricting clothes like tight jeans, skirts and dresses and instead opt for athletic wear, preferably with no-collar tops.

●      Listen to Your Instructor

Expert trainers are there to keep you safe at every step of your indoor skydiving experience. Listen closely to their instructions during the pre-flight training and one-on-one sessions, and don’t feel shy asking questions whenever you don’t understand something or need more information.

●      Relax

Stepping into the tunnel and feeling that strong gust of wind lifting you off your feet for the first time can be a little intimidating, but there’s no need to be nervous. Remember that you’ll be in a completely safe, controlled environment, surrounded by experienced professionals at all times.

So, just focus on relaxing your body and maintaining good posture, and let the rhythm of the wind do the rest.
