Be honest… would you jump? 👀
This is @sydney’s closest coastal skydive, where the only thing between you and the Wollongong coastline is a whole lot of adrenaline!
Jump from the plane, freefall at speed, spin through the sky and then float back down with unreal views of the ocean and escarpment below 🪂
Not your average sightseeing experience with @skydiveaustralia!
