What's Involved?

 

Your Training X

Gold Coast Skydive Training  

Very little training is necessary - only 15 minute on average!  The training involves an explanation of each stage of your jump using photos and video footage to assist you.  Before the completion of your training, passengers are required to demonstrate to their instructors that they can satisfy the requirement to lift their legs for the landing phase of their jump. You will be suited-up and placed in a Tandem Harness on the ground before you board the aircraft. Click here to find information regarding Health & Physical Requirements and Restrictions.

 

The Plane Ride X

Gold Coast Skydive Aircraft  

The flight up to jump altitude lasts approximately 15 to 20 minutes. You will enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Gold Coast beaches and our tropical Hinterland before your Tandem Master secures him or herself to you on 'Jump Run!'  At this point, your adrenaline will be pumping and your Tandem Master will help you to relax as he or she will once again run you through what you need to do for your jump.

 

 

The Freefall X

Freefall over the beach  

This is the most exhilarating and adrenaline pumping experience of your life! Once you leave the aeroplane from your jump altitude (See Terms & Conditions), you will accelerate up to TERMINAL VELOCITY, which is approximately 220 km/hr. You will FREEFALL right over the beach for 45 life changing seconds until your Tandem Master opens the parachute by 4,000 feet - YAHOO!

The Parachute Ride X

Parachute over the beach  

After your freefall, you'll feel like you've come to a complete stop!  In fact, you're now flying like an Eagle, soaring right above the beach - it's just breathtaking! You can spiral-dive like a rollercoaster, have a steer of the parachute yourself or just relax taking in the beautiful scenery and let your Tandem Master gently bring you back to Mother Earth. The parachute ride take between 4 to 5 minutes.

 

The Landing X

Land on the Gold Coast Airport
