Claire from April 2012

I bought my Dad a voucher for skydiving just before Christmas. I understand he used it the other day and has not stopped talking about it like an excited child ever since. I just wanted to say thank you so much for taking care of him and giving him the experience of a lifetime. I was apprehensive about throwing a 69 yo man out of a plane but, with your help, he has clearly proven my fears ungrounded. Thank you and thank you again to your team and the fearless person that my father was strapped onto.

I would like to highlight the contribution of Paul, my skydive instructor for making my experience a thrilling and an unforgettable one!!! It was an adventure of a lifetime and he helped to beautifully capture it in the form a superbly shot DVD.

His experience and expertise showed in the way he handled the entire activity. If it weren't for him, I would not have jumped out the door of that plane. He has the quality to win the customer's trust and sure enough we were very well taken care of and landed safe and sound to the ground. It was customer delight at its best and I will definitely recommend acquaintances to Skydive the Beach with you :)

Kudos to Paul and the entire team at Skydive the Beach.

Robert and Katy jumped March 2012

My husband and I just wanted to drop you a note just to thank you for the great skydiving experience we had with you yesterday. The team were all reassuring and we were both paired with two amazing jumpers (Pricey and Greg). We both felt like we were in safe hands from the very beginning. The entire experience was fantastic from start to finish and we can't wait to do it again soon. We are so pleased that we decided to purchase the DVD and photos and we have already watched them over and over today. Everytime we think about our experience it brings a huge smile to our faces! Thanks again for an awesome day!

Hey guys I jumped on the 19th of Feb with a group of friends and we all loved it. We had a great day for it and all the staff were so nice to us and the guys that jumped with us were great. I had Tony with me and he was awesome I hope to get him next time I jump. All of us that jumped are already saving to come back soon with even more people to jump with us. We all can't wait. Hope to see you all soon.

To Tony and the rest of the crew from Skydive the Beach. I had the best time on Sunday, I'm still on a high 2 days later. The DVD and pictures were the best and my daughter had a blast! Many thanks.

Alex jumped February 2012

I just want to express my gratitude for the experienced I had skydiving yesterday. You must get lots of positive feedback all the time but I thought it was worth mentioning that I think you guys do an amazing job. The instructor I had, Paul, was so professional that I was able to fully enjoy all of the jump, from launch to parachute landing. Also, I didn't comprehend the huge level of skill that was required in the photography work, until I got home and looked through the photos. They are top quality! There are so many good photos I don't know what to do with them all. I feel it was value for money.

Donna jumped January 2012

I had one of the best experiences! It was my sixth skydive and my daughter's first skydive! Woooo Hooooo!!!!

I cannot explain the thrill, adventure and experience to finally share with my beautiful girl! A huge thanks to Igor for making my jump so special and for the brilliant work, time and fabulous experience he has embedded in our lives. You are a great guy Igor!

I have watched our DVD's every night since (how can you not) and still can't wipe the smile off my face!!! Thanks again for another truly amazing experience! Hopefully see you guys soon for a night dive!

Tanja jumped January 2012

I did my first tandem skydive on 7 January on the most beautiful summer's day in Wollongong. Everything was well organised, so thank you to all the crew at Skydive and I want to say a special thank you to Luke, my instructor for without him I do not believe the experience would have been so enjoyable. He made me feel safe and secure, which meant I could really just enjoy and take in the most beautiful views. Thank you so much and I will definitely be back soon.

Arose jumped December 2011

Customer jumped September 2011, via TripAdvisor review

"Absolutely amazing! Highly recommended!" I can't write enough good things about my experience with Skydive The Beach. The staff were very friendly and helpful, which is definitely a plus point considering it was my first jump. The location was perfect, once the parachute opened and I could take it all in I was stunned by the beauty of the area. Being right next to the beach sets them apart, and i'm not sure jumping further inland would be even close in terms of scenery.

As a first time jumper, I have to admit I was a little nervous, but the staff were amazing and by the time we were at 14,000ft I wasn't even half as nervous as I thought i'd be. The instructors were hilarious and kept everyone laughing the whole time on the bus and plane. As much as $145 for photos and videos sounds, skydiving isn't something most people do all the time and I think it is totally worth it just to watch it back and have a laugh at yourself, and it's great for showing family/friends.

I would definitely recommend Skydive The Beach to anyone wanting to give skydiving a go. It was so much more than I thought it would be and I can't wait to go back and do it again.

Stefan Zimmerman from BBM Magazine jumped February 2011...here's his skydiving account in German, for those of you who can read German (we're pretty sure he had a good time, our German is a bit rusty)!!

Gewisse Erfahrungen sollte jeder Mensch einmal in seinem Leben machen und aus einem 4-km-hoch-fliegenden Flugzeug zu springen gehoert definitiv dazu! Ein Erlebnis, das ich wohl nie vergessen werde und falls doch, kann ich mir meinen Sprung immer wieder komplett auf DVD ansehen!

Alles beginnt eigentlich sehr entspannt, man trifft seine Freunde und weitere „todesmutige" Springer im Shuttle-Bus, der einen direkt aus der City von Sydney ins Sprunggebiet in den Sueden zum Strand von Wollongong bringt. Waehrend der Busfahrt reissen alle noch Witze ueber den Sprung, man versucht sich abzulenken, doch in dir selbst nagt die Gewissheit, dass etwas Grosses vor dir liegt. Wenn man den anderen in die Augen schaut, erkennt man dieselbe Nervositaet und Anspannung. In den Gebaeuden von „Skydive The Beach" erwarten einen bereits die netten Empfangsdamen und Trainer. Man bekommt seine Flugbekleidung (laessige Hosen) und wird in seinem Sprunggeschirr verschnuert. Die Stimmung ist locker und geloest, diese Leute wissen was sie tun! Danach kommen die Tandem-Springer dazu und jeder lernt seinen „Jump Instructor" kennen. Das ist also der Mensch, dem ich mein Leben anvertraue ... lustiger Typ! Ich rede hier von Greg, Vollblut-Australier! Da ich die DVD bestellt habe, hat Greg ein kleine HD-Kamera am Arm befestigt und macht sich einen Spass daraus mich in allen Situationen zu filmen (was nachher, wenn man den Film sieht wirklich witzig ist!). Nach dem Training und der Einfuehrung gehts dann los, die kleine Maschine ist schon abgehoben bevor man ueberhaupt richtig sitzt. Der Flug bis man die angestrebt Flughoehe von 14.000 ft erreicht soll eigentlich 20 Minuten dauern, es kommt mir eher vor wie 5 Minuten! Die Aussicht ist phaenomenal! Strahlender Sonnenschein und ein ueberragender Blick auf die fantastische Kuestenlinie von Wollongong mit wunderschoenen Straenden und Bergen. Die Spannung steigt! Die Tuer oeffnet sich, der erste Springer geht ueber Board! Wahnsinn! Der war ja sowas schnell unterm Flugzeug verschwunden waehrend seine Schreie vom tosenden Wind davongetragen werden! Grinsende Gesichter bei den „Tandem Instructors", fassungslose und nervoese bei den Springern! Ich bin dran, wir kriechen zur Tuer, meine Beine Baumeln 4 km ueber der Erde ... 3, 2, 1 ... ein Adrenalin-Kick, wie ich ihn noch nie zuvor gespuert habe durchfaehrt meinen Koerper, eine Minute freier Fall, der Kick raubt mir den Atem, ich schreie wie ein kleines Maedchen. Ein unglaubliches Gefuehl, besser als jede Droge!
Der Fallschirm oeffnet sich und mit einem sanftem Ruck herrscht auf einmal ploetzliche Stille. Ein Blick nach oben entbloesst einen grinsenden Greg und , GOTTSEIDANK, einen voll entfalteten Fallschirm! Nach dem Rausch des freien Falls nun entspanntes dahingleiten und die spektakulaere Aussicht geniessen. Greg laesst mich eine Weile die Leinen halten und ich darf den Flug steuern. Nach ein paar gefaehrlichen Spiralen uebernimmt er dann wieder und wir setzen zur lockeren Landung an ... das wars, ich bin total happy, Glueckshormone durchfluten mich, Greg bekommt seine ueberfaellige Umarmung aufgedrueckt! Was fuer ein Erlebnis! Um mich herum landen die anderen, egal wo ich hinschaue, ueberall strahlende Gesichter!
Raus aus den Klamotten und zurueck zum Absprungcenter! Man fuehl ich mich gut! 30 Mitunten spaeter ist mein Video fertig geschnitten und wir schauen uns gemeinsam die DVD's an! Jeder lacht ueber jeden, denn es stellt sich heraus, dass man wirklich witzig anzuschauen ist, waehrend man aus einem Flugzeug springt. Eine einmalige Erinnerung, ich kanns kaum erwarten, den Film meinen Freunden zu zeigen!

Ruben Jakobs from BBM Magazine jumped February 2011

Op 22 februari j.l. heb ik de prachtige ervaring mogen meemaken om te gaan Skydiven. Dankzij BBM kreeg ik deze kans aangeboden om dit samen met drie anderen een skydive te maken bij Skydive The Beach. Dankzij de goed regelde pick up service vanaf Central station hoefde we ons nergens druk om te maken. Na het invullen van alle benodigde papieren kregen we onze instructie voor de jump uit het vliegtuig.

Hierna volgde een ontmoeting met een instructeur. Na even voorstellen en een kort introductie filmpje gingen we het busje in op weg naar het vliegveld dat zo'n 20 minuten rijden bij. Het moment kwam nu toch wel dichtbij dat het eindelijk zo ver was dat we van 4 km hoogte uit een vliegtuig zouden springen. Aangekomen bij het vliegtuig was het tijd om de lucht in te gaan. Eindelijk! Het duurde nog 20 minuten voordat we de hoogte van 4 km zouden bereiken. In het vliegtuig werden we vastgekoppeld aan onze instructeur en die nam de procedure nog even door bij het verlaten van het vliegtuig. Benen naar achter, hoofd naar achter en heupen naar voren en gaan.

De minuten vlogen voorbij terwijl we nog van het uitzicht aan het genieten waren was het tijd om te springen. De eerste minuut van de sprong beland in je in de vrije val. Met een snelheid van 200 kilometer per uur daal je naar beneden. Na de minuut gaat de parachute open en kun je prachtig genieten van het uitzicht. De skydive zelf duurde ongeveer een kwartier maar voor je gevoel sta je weer op de grond voor je het weet en wil je gelijk nog een keer. De adrenaline giert door je lijf. Kortom iedereen die van een beetje ‘thrillseeking' houd, doe een skydive! Een aanrader voor iedereen is de DVD. Hiermee kun je je eigen dive terugzien en dat is echt te gaaf voor worden. Het was een onvergetelijke ervaring en ik wil Skydive The Beach.
