An experience to remember, falling out of the plane above the clouds ...awesome. Instructors instill the sense of safety so no nerves. Very competent team, friendly with practical advice. Video worth the money, bring plenty of water, keep hydrated. Wear warm clothes it's cold up there and ladies tie your hair back tightly. From one who is scared of heights... More

Hi, Thank you for your positive review! I will pass on your words to our instructors, they always like hearing such great words as they love the job they do! Being scared of heights is always the biggest obstacle for people to overcome when thinking about skydiving. Once you take on that fear then the sky is literally the limit!... More

Totally worth the distance and the price! It was my first jump but my instructor was really friendly and help calm my nerves. Everything was pretty quick and organized, and there was virtually no waiting time. Would recommend going on a weekday like we did. And bring lots of water! :) More

Would definitely recommend the Melbourne Skydive Centre. It was my first jump and I'm already planning my next trip back. It's also worth paying extra for the photos and video. Thanks More

If you are in Melbourne you should visit this however this is not my favourite. Make sure you activate your parking ticket at the counter to enjoy the whole day 11 AUD parking fee. More

Hi, thank you for the review although I think you might have us mistaken for another skydive centre as we operate out of Lilydale airport and Barwon Heads airport, both in which has all day unlimited FREE parking. We are glad you enjoyed the skydive though, it truly is an amazing feeling! Blue Skies! Cheers Michael More

For those who have apprehensions in skydiving, I say just do it! It's fantastic and it was life changing for me. Anyway, the Instructors were fantastic, very relaxed and very calm. I suppose this is because they have had extensive experience. I did the dive with my friends and compared notes. The only difference we had with the Instructors is... More
