VIDEO OF YOUR SKYDIVE
A video record of your day is not included in the price. It is a highly recommended addition to your jump that not only captures the fun and excitement of the day, it also serves as a valuable training aid. As such, we offer Video/Stills at a discounted rate of $95 only for AFF students (normally $130). Please pay the additional fee of $95 at Manifest on the day, however you will need to let us know before the day if you require this service, and see Manifest on the day. Places are strictly limited.
Your Course Instructor will be there to meet and greet you on arrival.
If you do have any questions in the meantime, please email me at president@nspc.net.au
We look forward to seeing you at the DZ!
Blue skies!
