Skydive Australia, the nation’s premier skydiving operator, is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. What began as a single small plane operating from Wollongong Beach in 1999 has grown into 12 drop zones across the country.
Founder Anthony Boucaut said, “As a young guy, I envisioned sharing my passion for skydiving with other adventure enthusiasts. From our modest beginnings some 25 years ago, with a small Cessna aircraft and a team of just 6, we embarked on a journey that has led Skydive the Beach, now known as Skydive Australia, to achieve an amazing 2,000,000 plus skydives. Over the years, we have expanded to become the world’s largest and premier skydiving company. 25 years is a long time for any start-up business and a testament to the vision, the product, the team members present and past, and most importantly, the thrill-seeking customers from all over the globe who have dared to experience the exhilaration of freefall with us.”
To commemorate the milestone, Skydive Australia is offering $50 off 15,000ft skydives at most of its drop zone locations. The anniversary discount can be redeemed by using the code 25BDAY when booking between 3-11 June 2024.
“Skydive Australia’s growth over 25 years has been powered by an unwavering commitment to safety, thrilling experiences, and our team’s unmatched expertise,” said John O’Sullivan, CEO of EXP Co., the adventure tourism company that owns Skydive Australia. “As we celebrate this anniversary, we look forward to many more years of helping thrill-seekers across the nation cross the ultimate adrenaline experience of skydiving off their bucket lists.”
With its roots tracing back to that modest beginning in 1999, Skydive Australia has expanded its operations while upholding the highest standards in skydiving safety and instruction. From panoramic views of the Great Barrier Reef to cityscapes of Melbourne, Skydive Australia offers breathtaking aerial perspectives at drop zones in premier skydiving destinations nationwide.
