iFly Indoor Skydiving Tampa Bay

What should I expect when I arrive for my indoor skydiving experience in Tampa Bay?

When you arrive at iFLY Tampa, you’ll check in and receive a short safety briefing. You’ll be fitted with a flight suit, helmet and goggles, then meet your certified flight instructor. After a quick overview and training session, you’ll float in a vertical wind tunnel that simulates the feeling of freefall — all under the guidance of your instructor. The full experience typically lasts about 1½ hours.

Is indoor skydiving suitable for beginners and families?

Yes! Indoor skydiving in Tampa Bay is designed for all skill levels — from complete beginners to thrill-seekers. Participants as young as 3 can fly (with a guardian waiver if under 18), and no prior experience is necessary. Your trained instructor will guide you step-by-step through the flight so you can feel comfortable and confident.

What gear do I need to bring or wear for my indoor skydiving session?

Wear comfortable clothing and lace-up sneakers. All participants are provided with a flight suit, helmet and safety goggles. Remove jewelry and loose accessories before flying, and tie long hair back so it fits safely under your helmet.

How long does the indoor skydiving experience last?

The entire Tampa Bay indoor skydiving experience is approximately 75 to 90 minutes from start to finish. This includes check-in, gearing up, safety training and two flight sessions inside the wind tunnel. Each flight lasts about one minute, giving you the sensation of freefall without jumping from an airplane.

What are the physical requirements and limitations for flying?

Indoor skydiving is accessible for a wide range of fitness levels, but you should be able to follow basic instructions and wear the flight gear comfortably. Flyers must be at least 3 years old and typically under 300 lbs (with participants over 260 lbs evaluated at check-in). If you have medical conditions like heart issues or back/neck concerns, consult a doctor before booking.
