Huge congratulations to Seth and Aiden, who both powered through AFF Stages 1 to 9 to complete their courses, and to Luca, who wrapped up Stages 7 to 9 to finish his AFF Course as well – unreal effort all round.
Cheers to everyone who made it out, helped out, jumped in, or just brought the good vibes. Here’s to blue skies ahead…

Tandem Skydivers
It was a great week for Tandems, with Michelle jumping alongside Joshua, who celebrated his 18th birthday, joined by Ella and Glen. Archie, Balthazar, and Peter all went up together on the same load, making it a memorable group experience, and Angus also took the leap.
Big cheers to those who took the Video/Photo Package to capture that unforgettable first jump! And an extra thanks to everyone who left reviews – your words inspire the next generation of skydivers.
A 5-star Google review from Archibald read: “Cheers to Matt. legend.”
Thanks to our Tandem Masters Matt, Ash, and Robin for getting everyone safely into the sky.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Trent (Student): “Such a wonderful facility, from accommodation, a pool and a great chill out area. Incredible instructors with lots of experience, great stories and very welcoming of new comers into the sport.”
"The video was amazing and it has been forwarded to my friends in UK Ireland NZ Singapore Malaysia and India and they are really impressed. I want to say a special special Thanks to Robin. He gave me all the confidence I needed as I was very nervous at the start. I couldn’t have done it without him! Thank you."
