Tandem Skydiving in Gold Coast
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.

Tandem Fall
Any individual above the age of 12 can skydive at Gold Coast; however, children between the age of 12-18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. There is no maximum age limit. All those skydiving at Gold Coast must carry a valid government ID to the diving centre.
Individuals weighing up to 95 kg can skydive at Gold Coast. Individuals weighing more than 95 kg, up to 110 kg, would have to pay an additional amount to skydive; those above 110 kgs would not be permitted to skydive. Pregnant women and those with physical disabilities or heart conditions are recommended to avoid skydiving.
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.
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.
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.
