Skydiving
Many people ask 'what is skydiving all about?' and 'Why would anyone want to jump out of a perfectly good aeroplane?!' Why? Because Skydiving is the adventure of a lifetime!
There are drop zones and skydiving schools all over Australia where you can do a tandem skydive, strapped to the front of a tandem master, or you can learn to skydive by completing the Accelerated Free Fall (AFF) course. It's as early as Stage One where you'll complete your solo skydive with your own parachute!
The crew at LIVE Adrenalin have brought together the best operators around Australia. So your first skydive will always be with a reputable skydiving centre with the highest safety standards.
First step is to decide on the skydiving school, then, it's time to head to the dropzone! If learning to sky dive is something you've always wanted to do, jump straight into Stage One of the AFF Course to learn to jump solo!
Most people expect that free falling towards the earth will be an uncontrollable experience. In fact, there's no falling feeling at all - it's a sensation of flying high above the earth with the best view in the world!
Tandem Skydive
Tandem Skydiving is the fastest and easiest way to experience the excitement of freefall skydiving, life's ultimate thrill. You will be attached to the front of an experienced Tandem Jump Master and encounter the awesome sensation of a tandem skydive. All the thrills without the intensive training or responsibility of opening your own parachute.
You'll begin your adventure by being kitted out in a jump suit. Following this, is a simple ground briefing including a few 'dirt dives' (a practice exit from a mock-up plane) along with an overview of canopy control and landing procedures. You then climb into the plane, take-off and begin the twenty-minute climb to an altitude of between 10, 000 - 14,000 ft, depending which skydiving school you attend.
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 the sky. As the adrenalin rush kicks in, you'll feel like you're 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 adventures. The feeling is indescribable, and the buzz lasts for weeks. Learning skydiving is a must for those who love to fly!
If you just want a taste of being a sky diver, a tandem skydive is the way to go!
