Wow,just wow! Amazing experience made more memorable by the amazing tandem Master Prashant. He makes you feel so at ease, relaxed and he makes a good experience into an unforgettable... read more one. I was scared of the feeling of free falling that you get in roller coasters, but you don't feel it at all! It's like floating... like swimming in the air.... and you are with a friend that is explaining to you everything like is a road trip. Can't wait to do it again! Thank you , Prashant!
1 February 2022I did a skydive here on 02nd January 2022. The skydive itself was exhilarating. A lifelong dream and the first one I'd ever done. Everything went well until we came... read more in to land. We seemed to be coming in faster than we should but as a complete novice, I had no point of reference.
We hit the ground very hard, landing directly on my backside. The pain was excruciating. The instructor, Maurice, said he tried to take the impact on his feet, but couldn't (I am significantly taller and heavier than him (I'm a 30's male - 185cm, 95kg)
I could barely stand up, but I was ushered away and told that this sort of thing happens now and again. Just put a bit of deep heat on it and I'll be fine in a couple of days!
I was in agony, so I went to a physio a couple of days later and got referred for an x-ray. I had a compression fracture (T11) in my spine and a broken tailbone. It heavily impacted my quality of life. I've gone through physiotherapy and have improved significantly, but I'm still in intermittent discomfort nearly 10 months later.
There was no record made of the accident and it was all brushed off. I returned to the site the next day to understand what went wrong. Maurice wasn't available so I spoke to one of his colleagues. I was told it was probably turbulence. It's unlucky and rare, but it happens. It didn't appear to be taken seriously.
I realise there are inherent risks with jumping out of an aeroplane, but I'm not happy with how it was dealt with.
25 September 2022My journey with SBOI started with a 20000ft tandem in April. The minute my feet touched the ground I knew I had to learn to skydive solo. Subsequently I have... read more completed my AFF course and A license. I am now working towards my B license. The staff at SBOI are super experienced so right from the start you know you are in good hands. Thanks for changing my life.

Amazing experience today with Prashant! Felt so safe and had so much fun!! 1000% recommend doing the 20,000ft skydive!
11 November 2022Completed my AFF learning course here, been jumping here every opportunity I can get. The instructors and other skydivers are always happy to share their wealth of knowledge and experience... read more (along with some great banter). Seeing all the excitement and euphoria on people's faces as they land after their tandem skydive always puts a smile on my face. The ladies upfront are so pleasant you won't even realise that you're parting with money. Great experience overall, from the moment you enter till the moment you leave.
1 August 2021Wasn't sure if skydiving would be for me but instructor Maurice was super chill and totally made me feel happier about the situation. Felt very safe and he pointed out... read more all the sights around. I'm sure at some points he didn't hear half of my chat but he still laughed along which is always reassuring 5000ft in the air. Thanks Maurice and the friendly landing crew, would love to come back for the 20,000 😜
