Tandem skydiving is a great way to experience the thrill of a 200 kilometres/ hour freefall and create a memory which will last a lifetime. Skydiving in Gippsland is the ultimate adrenaline rush that will keep you grinning from ear to ear for weeks to come.

Upon arrival at the drop zone, you will meet your tandem skydiving instructor and be given a safety briefing to cover all the important aspects of your skydive.

From there it’s straight onto the plane for a scenic flight to altitude over Latrobe Valley with panoramic views of Mt Buller and Mt Baw Baw across to Wilsons Promontory.

Freefall – words can’t describe it. You’ll be flying towards the planet at over, freefalling for up to 60 seconds.

Your tandem master will deploy the main parachute and may give you a chance to fly the parachute as you gracefully steer your way down to a smooth landing.

Your video will be prepared for you straight after your skydive, giving your friends and family the chance to share your amazing experience.

Please feel free to stay and watch the other skydiving activities at the club after your own skydive has ended.
