What to Expect on a Melbourne Skydive St. Kilda?

Arrival at the Skydiving Facility
Training
Tandem Jump

Choose a timeslot and arrive at the skydiving facility at St. Kilda Marina at least 15 minutes prior to the allotted time. Once you arrive, you will be asked to fill out some mandatory routine paperwork, and then taken straight to a quick health check-up.

Once you complete the formalities and health check-ups, you will be introduced to your instructor who will take you through a quick briefing. They will also be the ones you will be strapped to and who you will jump with, so it would be a good idea to use the briefing session to get all your questions and concerns out of the way.

Once the training is done, get ready to change into the skydiving attire and climb aboard the airplane along with your instructor. Settle in for a comfortable 20-minute ride upward, till you reach 15,000 ft. Once you hit this mark, your instructor will signal you, and that’s when you should brace yourself for one of the most memorable experiences of your life. 

The first 60 seconds of the jump are a freefall where you will likely be falling at a speed of up to 200 kmph. When you hit a predetermined height, the chute will auto-deploy and you will have a chance to navigate and steer the canopy. Enjoy the 7-minute descent before you land on the sandy St. Kilda beach.
