Are you a licensed skydiver? We cater for you too!
Licensed skydivers must come in prior to the day of their jump to speak to the Drop Zone Safety Officer. You will be required to bring your log book and all your skydiving licenses. You will also have to visit the drop zone to familiarize yourself with the landing area.
To skydive in Australia, you must be a current member of the Australian Parachute Federation. The APF fee is $35.00 if you are not a member.
Aircrafts in use are Cessna 182 Navajo & Cresco. As a licensed skydiver you will only be taken to plane height. (I.e. if there are 2 Tandem skydivers and one is jumping at 9,000 feet and the other at 11,000 feet, you will be exiting the plane at 11,000 feet.
