We had an amazing skydive experience recently and prashant is the man who made is possible.
Such an amazing and experienced guy.
Highly recommend.

25 September 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 2022Cannot wait to do it again, easily the highlight of my summer, and the most fun I have had strapped to a man; I'd recommend it. Felt very safe in... read more the professional hands of Skydive BoI, who were helpful and reassuring the whole time. Do this today, nothing else compares to the beauty of the views and floating slowing back to earth.

Exhilarating experience with Prashant, would totally recommend to anyone! Amazing views and a feeling of freedom that's hard to find.

I was so nervous (and scared) as it was my first time doing it and he helped calm me down and really made my experience great.

Maurice was awesome. We forward rolled out and we cloud walked. Plus we stuck the landing. My second time.

10/10 recommend - I went skydiving for the first time today, and it was a terrifying but amazing experience!
I'm petrified of heights and falling, but my instructor Prashant helped me stay calm!... read more Thanks to him I was able to conquer my fears, would 10/10 recommend! It still feels so unreal, I would definitely do it again!!!!
15 January 2023I 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 🙂
4 April 2022Wow,just wow! Amazing experience made more memorable by the amazing tandem Master Prashant.

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!
