Description
Ready for some gravity powered action? Check out the jump options then give Ripcord Skydivers a call.
Jump from a beautiful south-east Queensland sky and enjoy perfect weather conditions nearly all year round, some of the best skydiving rates in the world and exceptional safety standards.
... moreYour first exhilarating jump will be the most memorable experience of your life. If you have a passion for adventure and excitement the ultimate thrill is to jump from a plane.
There are three different ways for you to complete your first jump. These include solo, tandem with one instructor or an accelerated free fall where two instructors assist you on your descent. After you have completed your first skydive you will be issued with a student licence and certificate, which enables you to complete further jumps at greatly reduced costs.
Delays due to weather can happen and weight restrictions do apply, persons under 18 years require legal parental/guardian consent.

Ripcord Skydivers Tours
Tandem Skydive
Tandem jumps provide extra security to those of you who are a little unsure, as you complete the jump from between 8,000 - 14,000 feet harnessed to your instructor. You will experience the breathtaking exhilaration of a 50 second free fall, followed by a peaceful four minute parachute ride under a parachute built for two.
