TSC Star Crests with Chris Dodds
“Saturday saw our monthly StarCrest event, but the weather conditions were not kind for big way! Once the thick fog cleared, we had a stubborn layer of cloud right at break off height that refused to budge all morning! Thankfully our patience payed off and in the mid-afternoon the conditions were perfect for a jump! Congratulations to Chase and Emma for getting another successful jump signed off, and thank you to all our very lovely volunteers for making the jump possible! Shout-out to our awesome sponsors TSC and SQPC!!”
Chris Dodds.
On Sunday there were still 66 fun jumpers here and 14 loads went up. A bit of everything was happening; team training, wingsuiters, angle jumpers, coaching and funjumping.
Our Tandems today were Andre, Cassiano, Jordanne, Cameron, Thomas & Stephen & Dean, Samantha & Kerrie, Lucy & Henry, Noel, Leslie and Natalie.
Students were also into it. Sameer, Sean, Duane and Steve did Stages 2 & 3, and Sacha did Stages 2, 3 & 4 of their AFF Courses.
And Dominic did a jump with Load Organiser Aaron: “He worked on his exits and levels, excellent jump and lots of froth. 😊”
Bellas training weekend
“The Bellas 4-way skydiving team had a great weekend of training at Ramblers over the weekend. After the fog cleared they managed to get ten jumps in over the weekend, which gave them plenty of chances to nail some new exits, show off their new helmets and welcome Dawn into the team. Thanks to everyone who helped make the weekend such a success!

As a SCUBA Instructor, I'm watchful for safety and professionalism in other extreme sports and the staff, buildings, equipment, plane and even other customers at Ramblers all gave me a feeling of safety and comfort in addition to being genuinely welcoming as newcomer to their sport. If you haven't been and have been wanting to skydive - this is a GREAT place to start your newest addiction. : )
