The Jump
- Learn to skydive and experience the thrill of 60 seconds free-fall
on your very first jump. Internationally recognised, this course involves
up to 9 hours of comprehensive training before you jump. Exit the aircraft with two instructors
holding on to you, perform some tasks on the way down then deploy your parachute by 4,500ft,
then fly
through the sky to your landing area.
Training
- Standard training is Tuesday & Thursday evening, 5.15pm to about 8.30pm at
our Perth office. (You need to attend both nights). This is followed by more
training (7.30am start) on the Saturday of your jump at
the
drop zone (York).
One standard course every two weeks.
Only 5 places per course and on average we are
booked up 2 or more weeks in advance.
Limited custom courses can be organised subject to
instructor availability, standard course price plus an additional fee of $55.
Training for stages 2 to 9 are usually a
10 - 30 minute briefing and are done on the day of your jump.
DVD &
Photographs
-
The DVD includes some of
your training, boarding the plane, the ride up, exiting, the entire freefall,
your parachute opening, flying the canopy and the landing. The photos follow a
similar format.

What to Bring -
