Skydiving courses

Looking for an adrenaline rush? Skydive Australia offers skydiving courses at their Byron Bay and Coffs Harbour drop off zones in NSW. Solo skydiving courses (TAFF instruction and AFF Stages 1-9) are offered.

Using the TAFF method of instruction, the preliminary jumps are performed in tandem with a qualified tandem master. Following the successful completion of this stage, stages 1-9 of the AFF course (including parachute packing instruction) will be completed over a number of days (usually allow up to 10 days as these courses can be delayed due to adverse weather).

Day 1 consists of classroom training on the theory and history of skydiving
Day 2 you will do a tandem jump assisted by your master and learn the basics of canopy control and landing

Stages 2-9 of AFF are then undertaken practicing skills such as canopy management, tracking and low altitude exits.

Cost A$2500 (to complete the A license plus 11 additional competency jumps are required which can be completed with Skydive Australia for a cost of A$660 including all gear hire.
