It's All About Free Fall (14,000ft Jump)
Overview
Come and experience tandem sky diving from the closest centre to Melbourne. Experience the All About You Package. You leave the plane at 10,000 feet giving you the rush of freefall! Then pull the cord of your parachute to glide gently to the ground in preparation for your landing!
Activity Highlights:
• 15 minute briefing - what to expect and what you will see on the plane flight to height, in freefall, under canopy and upon landing.
• As we leave the airfield, you will be treated to a scenic tour of the Yarra Valley and the Dandenong ranges as well as the city of Melbourne and Port Phillip Bay.
• As you leave the plane, you and your tandem master will accelerate through the air reaching terminal velocity - 220km/h.
• Freefall feels like riding a cushion of air similar to riding a big wave. In freefall, your senses will be able to take in views as far as the eye can see. Then finally it's time to pull your parachute open.
• From the loud rushing of air that you hear all around you, the parachute ride is very different as you sail around the sky, still gliding.
• Sky diving is suitable for people of almost any ages.
What's Included:
• 10,000ft skydive.
Not Included:
• Parachute Levy - $25.00 per person (This is a compulsory levy that is payable on the day of your activity).
