Sky diving @ Byron Bay

Something that we've thought about for a while, but never finding the courage to actual do it. 

Since we've moved to Sydney, we've been looking at sky diving packages either in Sydney itself, or at Wollongong. Somehow, we've always managed to come up with excuses like - it's going to rain this weekend, Wollongong's too far, too busy etc etc etc

This time, being up north - weather's not excuse and the coastlines being gorgeous, we have no excuses to back away! So off we went to Byron Bay for a once in a lifetime experience !

 

We've decided to go ahead with Skydive Byron Bay instead of the one at Gold Coast because we felt that the view was going to be prettier with some greens, blues and brown instead of just the sea and buildings at GC.

The company do offer trips all the way from the GC up to Byron which is included in the package. We decided to drive ourselves because we didn't want to follow their 'trip' down to the town at Byron as we had plans for dinner.

 

Our little transport up to the air!

To be absolutely honest, we were quite upset while we were waiting to do our jump. Our jump/arrival time was meant to be at 11am, but we didn't get to do our jump till about 3 pm. Being one of the first fews to arrive, and only getting to jump at the second last plane! - TOTALLY UNIMPRESSED. We were told that there was a 30 minute delay due to the change in the wind.. still, a 4 hour delay for the jump was a way too long. In fact, we actually went back up to the desk and told them if there was any further delays, we would like to cancel our photograph/video package and just be on the next jump (as they told us the reason we kept getting pushed back was that they couldn't fit our photographers in). 

Anywayyyyy.... the jump made up for it. We were too happy after that to be angry anymore

 

 Off the plane!

:))))

 

Surprisingly, it was not scary at all! The view was just so amazing!

 

 Check out the skies and coast line! 

Gorgeousness to the max!
