The ultimate adventure in Nagambie, your first Freefall Skydive only an hour north of Melbourne! Accelerated Freefall is for those that want the ultimate skydiving experience.
We offer Accelerated Freefall (AFF) Body Flight training most weeks. Learn how to jump from a plane with a days thorough ground training followed by the most awesome experience of your life - your first solo skydive, accompanied by two of our expert instructors to assist you and ensure your safety and stability. What a rush!
Only for the most adventurous the course consists of a comprehensive full–day instruction course, followed by your skydive from 14,000 feet with two of our expert instructors. They will assist you throughout the dive, ensuring your safety and stability.
Exiting the plane is a simple procedure, but does require courage. Both instructors take a firm grip on you before you climb out and the three of you will launch together. Once in freefall you practice a number of manoeuvres that teach you to move around the sky safely (stage one jump is designed to ensure you can exit the aircraft smoothly, adopt a stable flying position, maintain altitude awareness and locate your deployment handle). When you arrive at 4000 feet, you pull the ripcord. Once the parachute has opened, the adventure continues: you take complete control of your canopy and are guided back to the dropzone for landing. It’s the complete rush…
This progressive means of accelerated learning means you can jump truly solo after as few as six jumps. Most courses commence 8AM Saturday, with revision, practice and skydive on Sunday. Mid-week courses are also available by arrangement. Accommodation is also included absolutely free!
Nagambie is a fantastic and beautiful place to skydive. You're in very safe hands, as collectively the skydiving team has been awarded over forty five Australian Championship Gold Medals. Being nestled on the northern side of the Great Dividing Range affords a natural shield against the elements too, so the weather conditions are generally much better than on the coast. Plus, the size of the plane means that you can jump with all your friends at the same time too. There's nothing better than sharing the experience with your mates!
Please note that the Skydiving levy of $25 is an additional charge which needs to be paid direct to the supplier on the day.
