Skydiving
Why Tandem Skydive?
Tandem jumping has been around since the early 80's. In fact our very
own Chief Instructor introduced tandem skydiving with another one of
our other very experienced instructors to South Australia. It is about
the EASIEST
way to do that "First Jump". After about 20 minutes of training,
you will ascend to between 8,000feet and 12,000feet in our six place
aircraft. Our aircraft means you can bring along up 2 other friends
in the plane (3 people at a time) to experience the skydive together.
Our aircraft has a large transparent door which enables the 25 minutes
plane ride to height one in which you can gaze out and enjoy the beautiful
surrounds of the Murray River, Fleurieu Peninsula and Adelaide Hills
– it is simply spectacular!
Wearing a harness connected directly to the Tandem parachute system,
with your instructor you will jump together and accelerate to 120MPH
(200Kph), freefalling for about between 25 to 50 seconds (depending
on what height you skydive from).
At about 5000', we will open the parachute, and
then you can assist us in steering the parachute during the 4-6 minute
ride down. During that time
you will get to practice the landing, have yourself a great roller coaster
ride (if you like that) or a slow and gentle ride in which you can check
out the scenery under the peaceful and quiet parachute above your head,
and then land on the dropzone with your friends and family waiting and
watching you when you land.
A freefall Videographer can capture your experience, filming the skydive
and landing, as well as the 'candid' interviews, special effects and
music - producing an 6-8 minute professional production, ready before
you leave (as well as a roll of film for you to take home), or you can
purchase our handcam option, this is fantastic at having a camera with
you at all times including freefall and capturing flying peacefully
under your parachute.
With the training, preparation, aircraft ride, jump, and video dubbing,
you should plan on being here for about 1/2 a day. Usually, we will
have you
on your way home in 2-3 hours.
