The Experience

Tandem Skydiving over Batemans Bay is an experience not to be missed. Strapped to your tandem skydiving master you will enjoy amazing views of Batemans Bay while experiencing the adrenalin rush of skydiving.

Tandem Skydiving is the ultimate way to experience the adventure of free fall with minimum training and responsibility on your part. With only a few things to remember through your skydive, you can sit back and enjoy while your highly qualified instructor guides you through your action packed adventure.

On arrival at the drop zone, and after completion of the paper work (which includes your APF membership), the tandem skydive involves about 10 minutes training and away you go! Your qualified instructor wears a parachute built especially for two and you wear a harness. We only use the most advanced and up-to-date equipment with all parachutes fitted with computerized back-up opening devices.

The aircraft ride takes around 20 minutes to reach 10,000 feet, at which point you will exit the aircraft, experience freefall for approximately 35–40 seconds, reaching speeds of up to 200kms per hour. Your instructor will open the parachute at 5,000ft and you will have a 5 minute canopy ride, experiencing the spectacular views of Batemans Bay.

The jump finishes with you lifting your legs on landing so your instructor can perform the landing for you, right in front of your family and friends. It is an exhilarating feeling, almost impossible to explain.

Additional Info

The maximum weight for a tandem skydive is 100kg however in some circumstances heavier people may be able jump we will just need to assess a few different factors such as your age, height and general fitness.

We offer the latest in freefall photography. Your tandem master will have the camera mounted on his hand, so there is no escaping and no hiding. Careful what you say as the canopy opens up, the camera will still be rolling.

One of the greatest parts of this style of video is that it will capture you steering the canopy on your own! But don’t worry your highly qualified tandem master will still get the scenery in the footage.

Duration

We strongly advise that you arrive with no time constraints and allow at least a half day free from your arrival time at the skydiving centre. Most tandem skydives will not take longer than 2 hours from arrival to completion, however, our sport is very dependant on weather conditions and people. A tandem jump involves a 15 minute briefing and gear up prior to boarding the aircraft for the 25 minute ride to 10,000 feet.

Dress Code

Loose, comfortable clothing is best. When the harness is tightened, tight fitting clothing such as jeans can be uncomfortable. Less bulky clothing is best and shoes should be of the "runner" or "sand shoe" variety, preferably without a heel. No bulky boots with hooks please. Dress the same as you would for the weather conditions on the ground. We will provide you with some jump pants to protect your clothing on landing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Is there a weight limit to be able to jump?
A. Yes, there is a weight limit of 100kg. If you are over this limit then you will be assessed on the day.

Q. Can one camera person film my skydive, and a friend's skydive at the same time?
A. We can include your friends in the ground footage, and the interview taken in the aircraft. When you exit the aircraft you will be leaving about 30 seconds apart from one another and although our camera flyers are good, they can’t cover that much sky and produce a video that meets our high standards.

Q.Can my friends and I all go up in the same plane?
A. That all depends on how many friends you have doing their skydive, and which aircraft we are using on the day of your booking. Our plane can take 2 tandems with dedicated video and photos or five tandems with handy cam or no video. If you have a larger group thats not a problem.

Q.Is skydiving safe?
A. Safety always comes first, fun comes in a close second. Our instructors are APF accredited and highly experienced, our equipment is maintained to higher than recommended standards and all our crew abide by our stringent safety pro-forma.Skydiving is an extreme sport, and like any extreme sport there is a certain amount of risk involved. All incidents, as small as they may seem are reported to the Australian Parachute Federation. Last years statistics stated that 1 in 10,000 skydives resulted in accident or injury. Compared with the statistics for registered cars in reported accidents in NSW being 9.8% the most dangerous part of your day is going to be driving to the drop zone!

Q. Is it normal to nervous?
A. Yes, it is absolutely normal to feel nervous. Jumping out of a perfectly good airplane is not something that normal people do every day. You are about to freefall towards Earth at speeds in excess of 220 kph from over 4.5 kilometers up, if your adrenaline isn’t pumping, then I think we had better check for a pulse! You will arrive nervous and maybe even a little scared, but by the time you leave you will be feeling ten foot tall and bullet proof!

Q. What happens if I am afraid of heights?
A. Believe it or not, a good percentage of skydivers and pilots are afraid of heights. From 10,000 ft up you will not experience vertigo like you would climbing a ladder or standing on top of a building.

Q. How fast will I be going in freefall?
A. The terminal velocity (maximum fall rate) of a single person in freefall in approximately 120 mph or 230 kph. A tandem will fall faster than this but is slowed down to regular terminal velocity by the release of a small stabilising parachute called a drogue.

Q. Does it hurt when the parachute opens?
A. You will feel a slight jolt as the canopy opens, but as long you put all your important parts out of the way when your tandem instructor is gearing up you will be fine.

Q. How hard is the landing?
A. As a tandem student you will be instructed to lift your legs up in front of you so your tandem instructor can touch the ground first. If you don’t land on your feet, you will glide in on your bottom and the landing impact is just like stepping off of a chair or a step.

Q. How long will I be under the parachute?
A. It does not matter what altitude you decide to skydive from, all of the tandem skydives have the same canopy ride. Your tandem instructor will deploy your parachute at approximately 5,500 feet. This will give you about 5 minutes to soak up the spectacular views as you fly around under canopy.

Q. Can I talk in freefall?
A. You can speak in freefall, but nobody will hear you. The sound you will hear in freefall is a white noise, imagine sticking your head out the window of a car travelling at 230 kph.

Q. What does freefall feel like?
A. It is the closest a human can get to flying and no words could do it justice! When you enter freefall you are accelerated by gravity so you will not experience the stomach lurches associated with roller coasters. Freefall is something that has to be experienced to be believed, it is definitely the fifth element.

Q. What happens if I get motion sickness?
A. It is very rare that anyone is sick in freefall. If you are prone to motion sickness eat a light breakfast or lunch at least an hour before your booking time. If you do start to feel queasy under canopy, let your tandem instructor know, they have sick bags at the ready for those rare occasions!

Q: Are there age limits?
A: Yes, the minimum age for tandem skydiving in Australia is 14 years of age and solo skydiving is 16 years of age. Any person wishing to partake in skydiving who is under 18 years of age needs their parent or guardian permission.

Q: What are the physical requirements?
A: You need to be a generally healthy human being with an average fitness level. 100kg - 110kg need to be assessed on the day by our drop zone safety officer

Q: What happens if my parachute doesn’t work?
A: All skydiving rigs (the backpack thing and all its bits!) are equipped with two parachutes by law. The main parachute is the one that gets used all the time. In the event that the main parachute is malfunctioning, the reserve parachute will be activated. In the event that no main parachute is deployed, all of our rigs are equipped with an automatic activation device (AAD) that will deploy the reserve parachute if you are still in freefall at a certain height.
