Learn to Skydive with Skydive Express
The Jump - Learn to skydive and experience the thrill of 60 seconds free-fall on your very first jump. Undoubtedly the best way you can learn to skydive. Internationally recognised, this course involves up to 9 hours of comprehensive training before you jump. Having learned the skills of free-fall and flying your parachute, you exit the aircraft with two instructors actually holding on to you, just to make sure everything goes to plan. After you deploy your parachute by 4,000ft you will fly through the sky to your landing area.
Training - Standard training is Tuesday & Thursday evening, 5.30pm to about 9.00pm at our Perth office. (You need to attend both nights). This is followed by more training (7.30am for an 8am start) on the Saturday of your jump at the drop zone (York). Standard courses every week*. Custom courses can be organised subject to instructor availability, standard course price plus an additional fee of $55. *except around Christmas and New Year
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. An expert freefall photographer will fly with you in freefall to take this remarkable footage and/or photos.
What to Bring - Wear casual clothing, runners or flat sole shoes. Sleeping bag and pillow if staying in the bunk room, tent if you're camping. Check in with manifest (our reception area) when you arrive at the drop-zone.
