Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday the remains of Cyclone Trevor brought some much needed rain to the region, stopping jumping for a few days but reviving the deadzone and making landings a lot more comfortable.

VISITOR COMMENT

Kieran – Thank you it was one of the most fun that I have had.  Would recommend you again.


Upcoming events

My experience of a tandem skydive was for my 40th Birthday. I could not imagine possibly enjoying myself any more than what I did today. Thank you to my tandem guide and the video guys. Instructions were very clear and thorough about what to do, what to expect and I got a great tour guide experience up in the air. I look forward to doing it again.
