Where are you located? Our primary dropzone is located at the Hope Estate, Pokolbin in the heart of Wine Country 2. What's so special about 14000 feet? 14,000ft is the highest you can go and almost doubles your freefall time of other skydiving centres 3. What do I need to buy if I want to learn to skydive? Initially you do not need to buy anything because we provide everything you need to learn about the sport, including goggles, altimeter, jumpsuit... Oh, and of course, the parachute! You could always purchase your own personal goggles, but again, it is not necessary. Why spend a lot of money on getting into a sport until you know you want to take it on as a past time? 4. What happens if it is raining?
5. How long will I have to wait to jump? Please allow half a day for your skydive. We do coordinate a time for you to minimise any waiting time however sometimes we can incur delays due weather etc that will affect this. 6. How long is the plane ride to get to 14000 feet? Our high speed aircraft gets to 14,000ft in about 20 minutes. This means more fun with your friends and less waiting time If you have any further questions please Contact Us |
