The female skydiving festival called SKYSISTERS starts in 4 weeks and they are looking for ladies/girls/women/chicks to do their AFF COURSES during the event, with female instructors in a super supportive environment. This is an incredible opportunity at a unique event, and there are only 4 slots left!  Book and pay for your course through Ramblers and contact Susie Mc for half price event rego and more info about Skysisters.

If doing the course doesn’t interest you, but a TANDEM does, then you can book in to jump with a FEMALE TANDEM INSTRUCTOR. There’s very few female TI’s in Australia and most of them will be at Skysisters! Contact Ramblers to book in for any day during the event, which is 18-25th Nov, 2023.

First skydiving experience and it couldn’t have been better, I had the time of my life and felt so safe throughout the whole tandem. A very welcoming space and awesome people.
