Sky Diving Australia located in Wollongong - I have been wanting to Sky Dive for many years.
I finally got the opportunity.
I have a brain problem & it is affecting my balance, mobility & speech.
I booked my jump in & arrived at the site in Wollongong on Tuesday 23/05 / 2023 for a quick safety brief.
They allowed me Sky Dive with my disability.
The Sky Dive Crew were very professional & were extremely inviting to me considering my disability.
Today was the best day I've had in a long time.
I will definitely go again & Sky Dive with this company.
I'd just like to say a big thank you again to the crew for giving me this great day.

You shouldn't miss this !!! - The whole was just wonderful. From booking it on Viator, contact the tour operator, discussing about pickup/drop off, and doing the activity.
Woody, who I jumped with was amazing. This was absolutely value of money. Seeing the world from 15000 ft above and then the jump is just breath taking. I would highly recommend doing it.

Omg I did it! - Amazing experience. ♡ It was also very easy to reschedule the date three times without any problems. One of our friends got a refund, cause of pandemic situations. Would definitely recommend this company. They also make very good videos & photos.

Skydive, A must do for everyone, - Would recommend W ollongong Skydive to anyone. I completed an amazing skydive yesterday (March 8) & for a 76th Birthday gift I say ‘Don’t miss it people,’ .This professional team from booking,instructors made. It a fun experience for all on board the plane. On landing all of our group that I spoke to would do it again in a heartbeat. Which is good to hear from people you have never met before. All comments were extremely positive & most of us coul not believe that we felt so relaxed & no nervousness thanks to the great instructors & organisation.

Great instructors unbelievable experience - I did a first time tandem skydive with these guys yesterday and I would 100% recommend them.
It was a perfect sunny bank holiday and even though it was incredibly busy, we were totally taken care of the whole way through. I was full of bravado before I jumped, no fear whatsoever, but when the doors of the plane opened and I saw my friend disappear out the door, my heart stopped.
Massive shout out to my instructor Josh, he was so patient and funny and totally coached me through as I had a panic attack hurtling through the sky at 200km p/h!
This was an incredible experience, and although today I am hoarse from screaming, and I still feel a prickle of fear just thinking about it, I would probably do it again.
Thank you Josh and the Woolongong Crew, you guys are awesome.
