This week onward, skydiving has been introduced to the people of Kuwait. Now one can attempt to enjoy the feeling of jumping out of a plane and feel free fall until the parachutes open up. One can take skydive jump along with a safety instructor (Tandem Jump) OR if you fall in love with skydiving, then take up the skydive course(AFF Course).

The whole setup for the skydive has been prepared in the South of Kuwait, away from the hustle and bustle of the Kuwaiti Skyline. The official drop-zone is away from industrial areas and utilities making it an ideal place for carrying out skydiving. Another amazing feature during the skydive is the backdrop, in which one can see Khiran Seaside City (Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Seaside City) with its inland waterways. It sets apart when one captures it during the skydive.

The runway, the skydive landing area, the preparation area and the plane hanger, all have been newly setup with the sole purpose of skydiving. Cessna 208 Caravan aircraft is the flight used for the skydive, which will let skydiver jump from the height of 13,000 feet in the air. All the tandem rigs and equipment for the one time skydive experience is ready and waiting for the skydive enthusiasts. The tandem jumps can be carried out with male or female instructors.

Kuwait NEEDS: Indoor Skydiving / Vertical Wind Tunnels

It would be nice to see a Vertical Wind Tunnel or Indoor Skydiving Tunnel in Kuwait. Right now the nearest ones are in Dubai & Abu Dhabi. Kuwait might have a good market for it and might lead to other related events like sky diving. The best thing is that even kids as young as 3 can do indoor skydiving.
