Skydiving Courses
Come and get your knees in the breeze … become a qualified skydiver and
enjoy a life full of incredible fun, new friends and freefall - yahoo! Ramblers
specialise in skydiving/parachuting instruction and coaching and have been
teaching people how to skydive since 1974! We take people with no experience through
all levels to become competent and qualified skydivers, competitors, Instructors
and even World Champions!
There are two training courses available at Ramblers:
- TAF/AFF Tandem Assisted-Accelerated Freefall Skydiving Course
- SL Static Line Parachuting Course
Ramblers has developed a course that combines the best of the original TAF
and AFF programs and offers courses seven days a week at Toogoolawah Drop
Zone, courses starting daily. Ramblers also offer Static Line Courses on request.
The biggest fun factor of skydiving is the freefall and the TAF/AFF courses
give you plenty of that! Both courses consist of nine skydives (stages) in
total, eight of which are freefall jumps from 14,000 feet - that's over one
minute of freefall every jump - yahoo!
The courses are designed for beginners with no experience. All equipment is
supplied. Both courses give you the knowledge & experience to become a qualified
and licensed skydiver, as laid down by the regulations of the Australian Parachute Federation.
Both courses cover freefall skydiving and parachuting techniques with particular emphasis on FUN
and freefall sequences, body position, safety, canopy flight and landings.
