6,000ft Ground Rush Tandem Skydive
Overview
COST: 299.00 inc GST
An exhileration 6,000ft Ground Rush Tandem Skydive over the Yarra Valley. Package available weekdays only.
Description
'Ground Rush' Tandem Jump from 6,000 feet giving you the rush of freefall at speeds of up to 220km/h!
We begin the day with a training & safety briefing with your tandem instructor, this includes what to expect in freefall, under canopy and upon landing.
You will be given a jumpsuit and your instructor will fit you into a harness. You will walk out to the plane and there you will conduct your practice exits. Once all the ground preparation has been completed, it is time to get in the plane and get ready for take-off.
During the flight to altitude you will be able to take in the views of the Yarra Valley, Dandenong Ranges, Melbourne CBD and Port Phillip Bay.
Once we reach height, it will be time to prepare yourself for the jump. The door opens and as you leave the plane, you and your tandem master will accelerate through the air reaching terminal velocity - 220km/h.
In freefall, your senses will be able to take in views as far as the eye can see. Then finally its time to pull your parachute open, the parachute ride is very different as you sail around the sky, still gliding.
Plus $50 voucher off your next skydive and a complimentary wine tasting voucher for a local Yarra Valley establishment.
An easy landing for anyone with basic fitness – all you have to do is lift your legs and our highly experienced and skilled tandem masters do the
rest for you.
