Enjoy a New Experience With a Tandem Skydive Down the Great Ocean Road

Skydiving is in there almost every time you ask people about their ultimate bucket list item. Who would guess that jumping from an aeroplane features in the top ten desired things active people want to tackle at some point?

Skydiving is an exhilarating experience that you’ll want to share with friends and family at every social gathering. Still, we understand some people’s reservations about flying without wings. So, why not explore an exciting tandem skydive down the Great Ocean Road? Our team at Skydive 12 Apostles is professional and have been doing this with an excellent record for some time.

Tips Regarding a Tandem Skydiving Experience

So you’ve built up the courage to make the booking for your tandem parachuting, and you’re probably somewhere between eagerness and dread. As the time gets closer, you can feel those butterflies flying around your stomach. We’re here to tell you that these feelings are completely normal, and by following these tips, you will have an enjoyable skydiving experience.

● Your dress code is an integral part of the skydive, which most people who do the jump get wrong. Wearing incorrect clothing can dampen the joy of the dive but wearing body-hugging clothes that won’t fly around when you’re freefalling through the air will be perfect. Also, you shouldn’t wear sandals or open shoes as you may never see them again after the wind blows them into the blue yonder. You can wear a jumpsuit or long sleeves if you tend to feel cold quickly.

● A common misconception that jumpers have is that if they consume a regular meal before going on the Great Ocean Road tandem skydive, they’ll feel sick during the jump. This information is a myth. We advise everyone to eat as usual without stuffing themselves. Likewise, you should drink a generous amount of water before you head up for your jump, as it prevents you from feeling fatigued before and during the dive. Don’t give in to the temptation of drinking alcohol to settle your nerves. This ‘cure’ will have the opposite effect.

(and you won’t be able to jump if you have consumed any alcohol)

● Once you’ve made your booking, it’s essential to arrive on time or, better yet, earlier than your appointment. Being early allows you enough time to complete the paperwork and complete the pre-jump orientation. Arriving late negatively impacts the experience of other jumpers and will have you in a tizz before the main show. You want to remain as calm as possible throughout, and getting to the venue early will definitely help with pre-jump jitters.
