Apart from the obvious benefits of skydiving in such a glorious coastal location (yes, your views do span from Fraser Island to Noosa to Pumistone Passage, the Glasshouse Mountains and all the way down to Moreton Bay) where the air over the ocean is clean and crystal clear, you also land on a soft and sandy beach!
We're pretty proud too, of our rather nice Jump Centre at Caloundra Airport (Aerodrome) which is a roomy little number with separate Manifest/Reception and seated waiting area; briefing area; large skydive DVD viewing room; media dubbing room; cafe; Skydive Souvenir Shop; and loads of free parking. All of which means that your skydiving experience is easy, convenient and comfortable from start to finish.

First of all I would like to thank BBM and Skydive the Beach Sydney for a great time that I will never forget. I had planned on skydiving for a while and wanted to go out with a bang, so I figured Sydney would be the perfect place to get the job done and done right. The adrenaline rush was the best ever from putting the harness on and taking off from the airport all the way to having my legs dangle outside of a plane before letting go into the great wide open. I am really glad that I chose to skydive in Australia rather than anywhere else. The environment is just right and the staff at Skydive the beach Sydney made the experience that much better. This was a highlight of my time spent in Australia and I wouldn't trade it for anything! This is something that I would not have been able to experience back in the states. The Australian ocean waters, especially along the east coast, are amazing and top the majority of beaches around the world. I would recommend this adrenaline rush of a lifetime to any one traveling from America whether it is honeymooners or young students, you are ensured an amazing experience that you will remember for the rest of your life!! Thanks BBM and Skydive the Beach Sydney, You're the Best!

During my two month study abroad program in Australia, there were a couple things on my bucket list that I knew I couldn't leave Sydney without doing... skydiving being one of them. Even though there are more than enough places in Chicago to skydive, I could not be happier with my decision to skydive on the beautiful beaches of Sydney. For the most part, I was extremely excited to skydive, but I'll admit, I was a bit anxious at the thought of jumping out of a plane 14,000 feet above the ground. However, any nerves I had on the plane ride up to our jumping destination were immediately forgotten due to the humor of the dive instructors and the incredible landscape views. No skydiving experience in the United States could ever compare to the unbelievable on and off land scenery of diving on the coast of Wollongong. Thankfully, this is an experience I will never forget due to the phenomenal DVD and pictures that Skydive the Beach staff provided me with after my jump. Thanks to BBM magazine and Skydive the Beach, my skydiving experience on the beach alone not only completed my trip, but it is enough to make me come back and visit Australia again!

Gewisse Erfahrungen sollte jeder Mensch einmal in seinem Leben machen und aus einem 4-km-hoch-fliegenden Flugzeug zu springen gehoert definitiv dazu! Ein Erlebnis, das ich wohl nie vergessen werde und falls doch, kann ich mir meinen Sprung immer wieder komplett auf DVD ansehen!
Alles beginnt eigentlich sehr entspannt, man trifft seine Freunde und weitere „todesmutige" Springer im Shuttle-Bus, der einen direkt aus der City von Sydney ins Sprunggebiet in den Sueden zum Strand von Wollongong bringt. Waehrend der Busfahrt reissen alle noch Witze ueber den Sprung, man versucht sich abzulenken, doch in dir selbst nagt die Gewissheit, dass etwas Grosses vor dir liegt. Wenn man den anderen in die Augen schaut, erkennt man dieselbe Nervositaet und Anspannung. In den Gebaeuden von „Skydive The Beach" erwarten einen bereits die netten Empfangsdamen und Trainer. Man bekommt seine Flugbekleidung (laessige Hosen) und wird in seinem Sprunggeschirr verschnuert. Die Stimmung ist locker und geloest, diese Leute wissen was sie tun! Danach kommen die Tandem-Springer dazu und jeder lernt seinen „Jump Instructor" kennen. Das ist also der Mensch, dem ich mein Leben anvertraue ... lustiger Typ! Ich rede hier von Greg, Vollblut-Australier! Da ich die DVD bestellt habe, hat Greg ein kleine HD-Kamera am Arm befestigt und macht sich einen Spass daraus mich in allen Situationen zu filmen (was nachher, wenn man den Film sieht wirklich witzig ist!). Nach dem Training und der Einfuehrung gehts dann los, die kleine Maschine ist schon abgehoben bevor man ueberhaupt richtig sitzt. Der Flug bis man die angestrebt Flughoehe von 14.000 ft erreicht soll eigentlich 20 Minuten dauern, es kommt mir eher vor wie 5 Minuten! Die Aussicht ist phaenomenal! Strahlender Sonnenschein und ein ueberragender Blick auf die fantastische Kuestenlinie von Wollongong mit wunderschoenen Straenden und Bergen. Die Spannung steigt! Die Tuer oeffnet sich, der erste Springer geht ueber Board! Wahnsinn! Der war ja sowas schnell unterm Flugzeug verschwunden waehrend seine Schreie vom tosenden Wind davongetragen werden! Grinsende Gesichter bei den „Tandem Instructors", fassungslose und nervoese bei den Springern! Ich bin dran, wir kriechen zur Tuer, meine Beine Baumeln 4 km ueber der Erde ... 3, 2, 1 ... ein Adrenalin-Kick, wie ich ihn noch nie zuvor gespuert habe durchfaehrt meinen Koerper, eine Minute freier Fall, der Kick raubt mir den Atem, ich schreie wie ein kleines Maedchen. Ein unglaubliches Gefuehl, besser als jede Droge! Der Fallschirm oeffnet sich und mit einem sanftem Ruck herrscht auf einmal ploetzliche Stille. Ein Blick nach oben entbloesst einen grinsenden Greg und , GOTTSEIDANK, einen voll entfalteten Fallschirm! Nach dem Rausch des freien Falls nun entspanntes dahingleiten und die spektakulaere Aussicht geniessen. Greg laesst mich eine Weile die Leinen halten und ich darf den Flug steuern. Nach ein paar gefaehrlichen Spiralen uebernimmt er dann wieder und wir setzen zur lockeren Landung an ... das wars, ich bin total happy, Glueckshormone durchfluten mich, Greg bekommt seine ueberfaellige Umarmung aufgedrueckt! Was fuer ein Erlebnis! Um mich herum landen die anderen, egal wo ich hinschaue, ueberall strahlende Gesichter! Raus aus den Klamotten und zurueck zum Absprungcenter! Man fuehl ich mich gut! 30 Mitunten spaeter ist mein Video fertig geschnitten und wir schauen uns gemeinsam die DVD's an! Jeder lacht ueber jeden, denn es stellt sich heraus, dass man wirklich witzig anzuschauen ist, waehrend man aus einem Flugzeug springt. Eine einmalige Erinnerung, ich kanns kaum erwarten, den Film meinen Freunden zu zeigen!

Op 22 februari j.l. heb ik de prachtige ervaring mogen meemaken om te gaan Skydiven. Dankzij BBM kreeg ik deze kans aangeboden om dit samen met drie anderen een skydive te maken bij Skydive The Beach. Dankzij de goed regelde pick up service vanaf Central station hoefde we ons nergens druk om te maken. Na het invullen van alle benodigde papieren kregen we onze instructie voor de jump uit het vliegtuig.
Hierna volgde een ontmoeting met een instructeur. Na even voorstellen en een kort introductie filmpje gingen we het busje in op weg naar het vliegveld dat zo'n 20 minuten rijden bij. Het moment kwam nu toch wel dichtbij dat het eindelijk zo ver was dat we van 4 km hoogte uit een vliegtuig zouden springen. Aangekomen bij het vliegtuig was het tijd om de lucht in te gaan. Eindelijk! Het duurde nog 20 minuten voordat we de hoogte van 4 km zouden bereiken. In het vliegtuig werden we vastgekoppeld aan onze instructeur en die nam de procedure nog even door bij het verlaten van het vliegtuig. Benen naar achter, hoofd naar achter en heupen naar voren en gaan.
De minuten vlogen voorbij terwijl we nog van het uitzicht aan het genieten waren was het tijd om te springen. De eerste minuut van de sprong beland in je in de vrije val. Met een snelheid van 200 kilometer per uur daal je naar beneden. Na de minuut gaat de parachute open en kun je prachtig genieten van het uitzicht. De skydive zelf duurde ongeveer een kwartier maar voor je gevoel sta je weer op de grond voor je het weet en wil je gelijk nog een keer. De adrenaline giert door je lijf. Kortom iedereen die van een beetje ‘thrillseeking' houd, doe een skydive! Een aanrader voor iedereen is de DVD. Hiermee kun je je eigen dive terugzien en dat is echt te gaaf voor worden. Het was een onvergetelijke ervaring en ik wil Skydive The Beach.
