What is Tandem Skydive?

There are two primary forms of skydiving at Gold Coast: Accelerated Freefall (AFF) and tandem skydiving. While you would need specific training and licenses to try AFF, tandem skydiving as an option is available for everyone.

With tandem skydive, you’ll not attempt a freefall solo -- instead, you will be accompanied by a professional skydive instructor every step of the way. Before the jump, while in the aeroplane, you’ll be attached with a harness to an instructor; they will control the skydive, from the jump and landing to the deployment of the parachute and appropriate body positions to adapt. It is the best option for first-time skydivers or those looking to learn more about the basics of this adventure sport.

Why go Skydiving at Gold Coast? 

Home to some truly mesmerizing blue-green beaches and immaculately maintained green covers, a visit to the Gold Coast is impossible to miss. And, when you’re at the Gold Coast, if you’re looking for a thrilling view of the ocean, then skydiving is the way to go!

Near the Gold Coast, there are two major skydive drop zones: Byron Bay and Noosa.

Pregnant women and those with physical disabilities or heart conditions are recommended to avoid skydiving.

Tandem Skydiving in Gold Coast - What to Wear

It is recommended that guests wear loose, comfortable clothing for their skydive. Track pants or trousers, with t-shirts and a light jacket, is your best bet, along with closed-toe shoes/sneakers.

Tandem Skydiving in Gold Coast -What to Eat

Avoid eating a heavy, greasy meal before your skydive; that being said, avoid jumping on an empty stomach. Have a light meal or a fresh smoothie. It is mandatory that guests do not consume any drugs or alcohol up to 8 hours before their jump, or go scuba diving 24 hours before.

Tandem Skydiving in Gold Coast - Weather

Since any skydiving experience is dependent on weather, your dive can be rescheduled or cancelled if there’s rain, poor visibility, fog, heavy wind. In general, prepare to spend about 3-4 hours at the site and ensure that you arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled skydive to complete all the paperwork and training.

After a quick health check, you’ll meet your skydive instructor team. You’ll go through a training session with them, where you’ll be given the necessary instructions about your skydive. You will learn about basic skydive body movements to remember before and during the jump, what to expect, what to avoid, etc. This session should last between 20-30 minutes.

After your training session, you’ll be provided with all the necessary equipment for the skydive. Your tandem skydive instructor will guide you towards the aircraft. To reach the 15,000 ft skydive height, you’ll fly for about 20 minutes. Before the jump, your instructor will attach themselves to you and alert you to get into position right before the jump.

You’ll freefall for about 60 seconds with your instructor until they release the parachute. At this point, everything will slow down a bit, actually giving you time to soak in the magnificent view below. Nothing will prepare you for the view of the sparkling ocean, lush landscape and clouds around. You will freefall for about 5-7 minutes, after which your instructor will navigate a safe landing back at base.

Tips For Skydiving In Gold Coast

  1. Do not overeat or starve before the activity. Give yourself enough nourishment to make this activity fun for yourself.
  2. Go ahead and ask to see your instructors license if you want to.
  3. Get enough rest before skydiving. While it is normal to feel excited and nervous the day before your experience, a good night’s sleep will help you enjoy the activity better.
  4. Understand that skydiving is dependent on the fickle nature of the weather. Better not go for the activity than free fall through 15,000 feet of haze.
  5. Know that if you are a female, you can request a female jumpmaster.
  6. Keep your helmet on at all times. It is not to protect your head during the actual activity but to prevent injury from toppling after you land.
  7. Familiarise yourself with the signs used to communicate mid-air as the verbal medium will be rather useless during free fall.
