Once the decision’s made and the fee is paid, you will be harnessed to a skydiving tandem master, flown up to about 13,000 feet ( 4,000 metres) where the tandem master jumps out of the plane with you attached. What a thrill and, oh, what a fabulous view you have of the local area.
Initially you fall very fast, perhaps 190kmph (120mph), until the canopy opens when you glide slowly and gracefully down to the ground. The instructor will make you sure have a safe and gentle landing and you can walk away with a filmed record of your experience!
Skydiving, or parachuting, is a very popular sport in Australia and can be experienced at Sydney, Hunter Valley, Coffs Harbour, Melbourne, Yarra Valley, Victorian Goldfields, Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast, Hervey Bay, Mission Beach, Adelaide, Perth, North-western Australia and various other locations.
