Skydiving Tandem Skydive Weekend - Sydney

Tandem Skydiving is the fastest and easiest way to experience the excitement of freefall skydiving life’s ultimate thrill. Attached to a Tandem Jump Master you will encounter the awesome sensation of Freefall Skydiving without the intensive training or responsibility of opening your own parachute. Before boarding the plane you will be dressed in a jump suit and receive a simple ground briefing which includes a few ‘dirt dives’ (a practice exit from a mock-up plane) and an overview of canopy control and landing procedures. You then climb into the plane take-off and begin the twenty-minute climb to a altitude of 12 000 ft. When you reach this point a final systems check is carried out. You have now reached the point of no return. The only way down is to jump! Nothing can prepare you for the sensation of stepping into 12 000ft of emptiness. As the adrenalin rush commences the feeling is much like floating on a cushion of air for 45 seconds as you travel at over 200 kph in a 7 500ft freefall. The wind rushes into your face and the heart is racing. If you are having your jump videoed a cameraman will appear as if from no where and station himself in front of you to capture the excitement forever. At about 4 500ft the parachute is deployed. The silence is amazing the view sensational and during the 5-minute descent you will be taught how to fly the parachute to a gentle landing. Skydiving is one of life’s greatest experiences. The feeling is indescribable and the buzz lasts for weeks. If you are thinking about jumping once or just having a taste of skydiving a tandem skydive is the way to go!
