Great views, great diving partner

Best experience ever
The staff were all really friendly and my partner and I had the best time skydiving here. It was amazing and I’d do it again in a heartbeat. The only thing I was a bit disappointed by was how expensive the video packages were such that they were nearly as much as the skydive itself. $249 for the wrist held camera seemed extortionate. Hence we didn’t get this.

Amazing experience and fantastic staff
Had a great afternoon experiencing our first skydive. They even managed to persuade my wife to do her first dive also. Staff were very nice and friendly Would highly recommend

Massive buzz!
This was so much fun from beginning to end. The nerves build as you gear up, listen to instructions and board the plane. They build again as you hurtle down the runway and quickly gain altitude. It's not long before you are handed an oxygen mask and start to relax as you take in the spectacular views. This sets you up to just execute when it's go time. The free fall is unreal and takes your breath but it's not long before you get your head and enjoy the spins etc. The fun continues when the chute opens and there's plenty more stomach losing moments as the tandemmaster does tricks and explains how to maneuver, before really showing his skill by landing on a postage stamp landing area. You drop in so fast it's unreal. Hamish, you are a legend! Thank you for taking it to 11 at the same time as keeping everything safe. Everyone was fun but very professional - not cowboys. Loved chatting to the other jumpers afterwards. NO REGRETS🤘🏻👌🏻👊🏻
