I 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 2022Awesome experience, loved the way Maurice Healy guided me with each step to make it a wonderful dive

I was booked in for the 9000ft and upgraded for only $30 to the 12000ft. Was my first jump and I was nervous! I absolutely loved the experience! Every member... read more of staff was happy, smiling and accomodating throughout. I believe they could read that I was scared and they didn’t push me or try to be overbearingly excited, they were the perfect amount of funny, supportive and excited. Would definitely recommend the 12000ft jump minimum to be able to have the best experience of the free fall. And the management went out of their way by dropping me off down the road after my jump. I would recommend this experience any day of the week and really hope that the business bounces back from covid once the borders reopen. Best of luck!! Also would recommend getting the photo package or the video one for the laughs afterwards 🙂

SOOOOO glad we did. The team were all super friendly, super professional, and my tandem master Prashant was freaking amazing. Charming, fun and able to just put you at ease.
