🪂 Tandem Skydivers

We had a solid line-up of Tandems this week, with Ekaterina kicking things off, followed by Mark, who loved it so much he went twice! Mark and his wife Kate left a beautiful review on our Facebook page, check it out below.

Anthony and Rebecca joined us as well, leaving an awesome Visitor Book comment: “AMAZING!! Will definitely do it again. And & Bec.”

We also took Andrew, Sheree, and Soren for their sky-high adventure over Toogs — good on all of you for sending it!

Thanks to our Tandem Masters Ty, Ash, and Shani… And thanks to Chloe for running outside video and photos for Ekaterina and Soren — the snaps are unreal! Thanks for Toddy for being outside camera man for Mark and Sheree. Great visuals!

And behind the scenes, David jumped Tandem with Ben Skuce, who’s continuing his training toward becoming a Tandem Master — good on ya, Ben.

Review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🖋📧

Mark C.:  “What an epic weekend. First we drive through a massive storm to arive around 8pm. Met some beautiful people Ben, Adrian, and Milly our first arrival night. Woke up Saturday to what was the blessing of God. Blue sky’s… So on this day I was to complete my 3rd Tandem. In a surprising outcome my wife Kate was convinced to take her first ever leap of faith. We completed our jumps with so much more then ever could have considered. We would both love to thank the loving and accepting family of Skydive Ramblers for the overwhelming love and conviction of all involved to make Saturday one of the most memorable day in our lives.

My wife Kate was never going to consider this jump. Your experience made this change in heart and she is so greatfull for. I’d like to thank Ben, Adrian and Milly for their commitment and dedication to making Kate’s jump so.special and on my behalf would love to thank Ash for my round 3 jump and making it seal my deal in completing my AFF in the upcoming months. Thank you to Shani for making my 2nd jump something that will always be in my memory. White out jump to completing direction 360 degrees turns each way under free-fall. To our new family in Toogoolawah. We love you and can’t wait to see you all again!”
