What to expect on your first Sydney skydive?
What is a tandem skydive?
Tandem skydiving is the safest and fastest way for anyone to enjoy skydiving without training or taking a course. You will be secured to an experienced jumpmaster with a harness who will control the entire dive.
Once you take a plunge from the plane, you will free fall for about a minute. The jumpmaster will deploy your chute at about 4000 ft and you will descend for another 5-7 minutes while soaking in the beautiful skyline views.
