Go Tandem Skydiving in Sydney
What is Tandem Skydive?
By opting for a tandem skydive, a professional, licensed skydiver will be attached to you by a harness. He/she will control the jump entirely, allowing you to happily enjoy the view. This is the most preferred option by those who are new to skydiving since it is safe, the required preparation is minimal and most of the work in the air is done by a tandem skydiving instructor. All it takes is 30 minutes of training and instructions regarding body movements to adapt and safety rules to follow.
The basic premise of skydiving is simple: you will be strapped into a harness and flown up to a certain altitude after which you will skydive out of an airplane. The freefall approximately lasts about 60 seconds after which the parachute is deployed. You will then have the chance to take in the views while you glide back down to Earth over the next 6-8 minutes. We suggest that you opt for handicam photos and videos to capture the best moments of your Sydney skydive.

After the session, you will be fitted with your gear and then head onto the specially-outfitted plane. On the way to 15,000 feet, you will be fastened to your tandem jumpmaster. Before you make the jump, the jumpmaster will handle and re-check the technical aspects, such as going over your harnesses in order to ensure you have a safe jump.
