Office kept me updated at all times about a short delay due to the weather. My tandem jumper Chen and photographer Josh were both amazing. My husband jumped with Damo. All 3 were professional, friendly and good fun, as were the other guides who chatted with us on the bus. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience for our first skydive.

Had the most amazing day sky diving in Cairns. Nothing was difficult about the experience and the crew were fantastic for my first ever sky dive. Would highly recommend to anyone looking do jump out of a plane for the first time.

All 4 of us really enjoyed our skydive, we all felt safe and our instructors did the most to ensure we were comfortable and informed. Would definitely recommend to others especially if it’s your first jump (like it was ours)!
