Do you have what it takes to tandem dive from a plane at 8,000 feet?

Have you ever considered skydiving before but never had the courage? Jumping from a plane could be the most exciting thing you ever do in your life, so put aside your fears and join CSA for challenge 4! Your jump will take place from the dropzone in Pinjarra. You'll be taken up at least 8,000 feet on a Cesna light plane where you will enjoy spectacular aerial views which range from beyond the city of Perth, out to Rottnest Island, Garden Island and as far south as Bunbury. Secured to your licensed Tandem Master you will freefall from the plane at 200kmh before your parachute opens and you drift down to earth together.

The Jump

Your jump will take place from the dropzone in Pinjarra, and you will be allocated an experienced, licensed Academy Tandem Master. Before you get on the plane you will suit up and be given a 20 minute briefing to show you exactly what is involved and what to do. You are secured to the front of your Tandem Master prior to exiting the aircraft, throughout the 200km/h freefall, the parachute ride and landing...easy!
