Description

We Cover Stages 1 and 2 only

Learn to fly and land a parachute built for one!

We teach the world’s most advanced freefall course which requires a measured progression through nine stages.

Our parachutes are state of the art and include steerable main and reserve parachutes with an automatic activation device. We  also provides students with radio helmets – an added safety feature.

With each stage of your course, you will progressively learn turns, forward and backwards movement, back loops and tracking, and also learn solo landings.

Stage 1 Starts with up to 8 hours of theory, ground training, and a written exam. You then do an instructional Tandem jump (TAFF) concentrating on height awareness and canopy control.

Stage 2 to 3 The next two jumps in your course are solo freefall skydives from 10,000ft with two instructors, learning turns, forward movement and maintaining a heading. Each freefall is approximately 35 seconds duration with a five minute parachute ride.

Stage 4 to 8 These next five jumps are also freefall skydives, but with one instructor. Each freefall is approximately 40 seconds duration with a 4-5 minute parachute ride.

Stage 9 The final jump is a solo jump from 4,000 feet and places emphasis on sub terminal control and deployment and by this time you should be landing unassisted.

**All jumps conducted at the discretion of the Drop Zone Safety Officer. Adverse weather may restrict jumping. 

Also you have the option of buying a DVD package on the day. Prices are as follows: 

Freefall Photography (Deluxe)

Why not have the thrill of your jump captured by one of our experienced videographers?
A videographer with a digital video camera and digital stills camera can accompany you in freefall, recording the moment for you to take home and share with family and friends. $174 (payable on the day)
Photographs are shot using the latest technology Digital SLR camera and given to you to take home on a disk with up to 50 photos. The video is edited onto DVD. Great for getting those blow up shots to hang throughout the house.
