Jumping out of an airplane is sis blast, but the crew at Skydive Australia at Belmont airport made it even more fun (professional, thorough and courteous).

When I first saw this ticket on Headout, I didn't even understand what "newcastle skydive" meant, but MAN, don't be bothered with the technicalities because this ticket is amazeballs- worth every second of it

The only thing that concerned me about this was that my parachute was sticking a little before the actual skydive. Thankfully it worked just fine mid air, but that's something I hope doesn't happen again

They literally throw you from 15,000 feet above the ground and you freefall for like a minute and a half, straight- probably the best experience of my life, EVER

Lake Macquaire and New Castle looked so stunning from way up there, I swear I was so reluctant to pull on the parachute when the time came. It was a bittersweet goodbye to the Aussie skies

What to expect on your first Sydney skydive?
What is a tandem skydive?
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.

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.
Tip: If you’re making an advanced booking and don’t have accurate weather forecasts, you can always book your skydiving slot in the early morning hours when the weather is usually warm, sunny and devoid of clouds.
Duration: 3-4 hours
- While the dive itself takes about 10 minutes, the entire experience, including health checks, training and flight, will take 3-4 hours.

Sydney Wollongong timings: 8am to 7pm every day, slot available every hour.
Sydney Hunter Valley timings: 8am to 7pm on Saturdays and Sundays, slot available every hour.

Summer months (September to February)
- Pleasant weather through the year: While the weather remains quite pleasant in Sydney throughout the year, the summer months usually have the ideal weather conditions for a skydive.
- Winter may get rains: June to August is when Sydney experiences winter during which showers are more frequent and it may get quite cold at the jump height. June sees the most rain. However, you will be provided with a warmer jumpsuit at this time to beat the cold.
- Pick an early slot: If you’re visiting Sydney in an off-peak season we suggest that you pick a slot slightly earlier in the day to improve your chances to avoid rain disruption.
