Tandem
Jump:

Master. After some brief training, you are taken to up to 10,000 feet
where you and the Tandem Master exit the Aircraft to experience one
of the most awesome feelings of all - freefall. At approximately 5,000
feet, the Tandem Master deploys the parachute and together you enjoy
a comfortable peaceful ride to the ground - a perfect way to reflect
on the massive adrenaline rush you just experienced whilst in freefall.
Enjoy the scenery while your Tandem Master takes you down for a gentle
landing just metres in front of your friends and family. |

Static
Line Jump:
The "Static Line" is a canvas strap that is attached to both the aircraft
and your parachute. After a comprehensive weekend course teaching
you the intricacies of parachuting, you are prepared for your first
skydive jump. You are flown to approximately 3,500 feet, climb out
of the plane under the supervision of your experienced instructor,
hang onto the strut of the plane's wing, and release yourself. As
you fall away from the plane, your Static Line goes to work and deploys
your parachute. You can steer your parachute to go wherever you direct
it. You follow directions from an instructor on the ground and In
this manner, you are led to the ground for a safe, gentle landing. |

Accelerated
Freefall Jump:
You first spend a full day of comprehensive training teaching you
the ins and outs Skydiving. The following day, accompanied by your
two highly experienced instructors, the plane whisks you to 10,000
feet. You position yourself outside the door of the plane whilst being
firmly held by your two instructors. You leave the plane and enter
the fun bit - freefall! Each of the instructors positions themselves
to either side of you gripping and arm and a leg each - in this way
they ensure your body stability during the skydive. Throughout the
jump you will demonstrate your awareness via hand signals. At approx
4,500 feet, you pull the ripcord on your chest deploying your parachute.
From here it's a nice comfy ride down to the ground, assisted by an
instructor on the ground. |
