Skydiving was an unforgettable experience for me, truly breathtaking. However, I don't think I truly enjoyed the whole experience. The instructor was incredibly aggressive, yelling at me to lift my legs during landing. I also spent a fortune on photos and videos, but out of hundreds of photos, not a single one showed me looking at the camera, not even a single one of me facing forward. Even the instructor took three... Honestly, I'm heartbroken. This might be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I finally got to do it, only to be scolded and unable to take good photos. The scolding is fine, and I could accept it if it were more serious. But the photos really upset me. If everyone were like that, I'd be fine, but everyone else's photos looked great, with several of them showing me giving the camera a "V" sign or snapping photos. My instructor, however, was the only one with a terrible attitude and poor photography skills. For the same amount of money, such a result is truly disappointing. I noticed that other instructors were very nice and even asked them to talk about their experiences while looking at the camera. However, my instructor didn't give me any time to recover after I landed. He had been very rude the whole time, but suddenly he acted nice in front of the camera. He casually said a few perfunctory words and ended my experience. I don't know if it was because I'm Asian that they treated me this way, or if they just gave me a perfunctory treatment because I was a woman traveling alone, but I was very disappointed.

The company are charging me more money for my dive, even though it has been cancelled twice due to weather. Apparently they'll honour Red Balloon vouchers, but when you book direct?? They ask for more money?? I have asked if it is cancelled a third time, they will do a 'partial refund' so nearly $800 for two dives, that was supposed to be for my 50th, has turned into a really negative experience and perhaps costing me over $200 for NOTHING! Try a different company!

Hi Sarah, Thanks for taking out time to leave us your review - we appreciate it. Unfortunately, we offer a very weather-dependent activity and sometimes despite the weather looking perfect on the ground, it can be very different at 15,000ft in the air. We are disappointed to hear that your experience was less than what we aim to deliver. If you would like to discuss this further, please send us an email at feedback@skydive.com.au.
