Adelaide South Australia Drop Zones

[Sean357 0]

Hi there,

I am from Perth Western Australia and I am most probably moving to South Australia for work February 2014. I wish to keep skydiving.

I know there are drop zones in S.A and I have looked on the map and located them I just want to ask on here which the busiest ones are, pros and cons in regards to travel to and from the suburbs.

I am not asking for any bagging out I just want people's honest opinions and suggestions.


Cheers

Sean

Hey Sean

I live in SA and here we have 3 drop zones. The first being Adelaide Skydiving, and I don't know much about them but I do know they get a lot of tandems there (not sure about the fun jumpers).

There's Skydive The Coast, which is very tourist-y and I think they only do tandems :/ I did my first jump there and the views were amazing
The last is SA Skydiving (my dz ) and they are definately the largest and most established in the state. The DZSO is Greg Smith (everyone calls him Miff though) and he is a very well known and respected skydiving legend. They get plenty of tandems, but they are very large on fun jumping, comps, free flying, wing suiting etc. It's a great community and very welcoming
SA Skydiving is about a 45 minute drive from the suburbs, and about an hour from the city. Pretty easy.

But I do recommend you them to you, and the weather is mostly beautiful for jumping here (blue skies, sunny, dry).

Best of luck and happy jumping x

Hi Sean

2 Dropzones for fun jumpers:

1. Langhorne Creek
About 1hr South of CBD
Good base of fun jumpers, lots of wingsuiting
2 planes
Swoop Pond

2. Lower Light
40 Minutes North of CBD
Similar amount of fun jumpers
3 planes

Both dropzones are similar with weather. Both have highly experianced operators.

Some people here fly over to Melbourne and jump at Nagambie/Barwon Heads too. So you might want to consider that too.

Hope that helps.

Adam
