Tandem Skydive At Hunter Valley - 15,000 ft
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.
Min legal age: 16 years
Parental guidance: for below 18 years
According to Australian law, you need to be at least 16 years old to go tandem skydiving. You will need to get written consent from a parent or guardian if you’re under 18.
Max weight: 95 kg
Max weight with surcharge: 110 kg
If you weigh above 95 kg, you will need to take a fitness assessment to determine whether the dive would really be safe for you. There is a surcharge fee as well for additional harnesses and safety equipment required for the dive.
Clear skies are required.
Skydiving is a largely weather-dependent activity. In case of sudden rains, fog, poor visibility or heavy winds, the dive may be cancelled. We suggest that you check the forecast before booking your skydiving tickets.
