Did this last year, was probably one of the biggest highs of my life I paid the expensive price for photos and a hand held video as well, but if you can afford the $400 then it is definitely worth it. 14000 feet means you free-fall 1 minute, and then a really peaceful float down to the beach where you...

My tandem master hamish went up and beyond to make the experience the best it could have been ! Even though we waited all... More

This was one of the best experiences I have ever had, not just in Australia. The skydive was amazing and you could not ask for anything more from the location. This really is a must do, and definitely get the video for the memories!

The view when you do this skydive is amazing and landing on the beach is great. The staff are all really nice, friendly and helpful. If you are going to do a skydive, which I definitely recommend you do, do it here!

If your thinking about doing it then stop and just book it.An excellent experience with expert skydivers who have over 8000 jumps each. It is scary when you commit to it but once your in that plane waiting to jump then the adrenalin kicks in and your flying. One thing to do before you commit is to make sure your... More

What better way to end a nice scenic flight over mission beach than jumping out of the plane and hurtling towards the ground for 60 seconds. Nice landing on the beach and a great view over the islands on the way down. Awesome experience!
