What really happens when you jump out of a plane from 15,000 feet? 🪂
You feel it from the second you climb into the plane. The climb feels slower than expected. Then the door opens, and there`s no talking yourself out of it.
Freefall turns into a quiet float back down, with the Shellharbour coast laid out below you. It`s the kind of view you don`t get any other way.
This is what @bigwaveskydive do best. Book yours and find out for yourself!

The Blue Mile was always going to be a good walk. Turns out it`s an even better feed 😍
Coffee stops, harbour views, cocktails as the sun starts to dip, and a seafood platter worth sharing between two, all along one stretch of coastline.
Which stop are you starting at?
