G'Day NZSkydive Auckland Team,
I wanted to thank you for the experience of a lifetime. Talk about a rush!!! What a view--I only spent two days in New Zealand so this was a great way to check out the landscape! It went by so fast but I know that I will never forget what it felt like to jump out of that plane!
A special thank you to Simon for making sure that I landed safely--thanks mate! The pictures are awesome--I have one posted at work to remind of my adventure...
When I return to New Zealand, I know that one of my first stops will be to make my second jump!
Here's to a professional but fun loving group who gave me some fantastic memories!
Cheers,
Jane (Northport, New York) |

The last time I jumped out of a plane was 28 years ago when I jumped out at 2,000 feet with a static line – just outskirts of Sydney.
Last Sunday 1 Oct 2006, I had the pleasure of doing it all over again at 12,000 feet ( booked in for 15,000 but the weather was not the best)
Let me just say, I had the best experience of my life and I want to send a SPECIAL THANKS to PETER LEE my tandem partner and JO my photographer/DVD maker! Peter was very warm and understanding and we got on like a house on fire! Jo was a charmer and (good looker). I came back to work (Brisbane Aust) and showed DVD and pics to the guys and gals here and they could not believe that I jumped out of a plane – I feel sorry for them because they will never appreciate the adrelenan rush I had and still get when I think about it.
Thanks again to Peter and Jo – please thank them for me as they deserve the recognition – keep up the good work down there – you are doing your sport proud!

My first tandem skydive, absolutely fantastic. Thanks guys for an unforgettable adrenalin rush, talk about a day of mixed emotions. To say I wasn’t a little nervous would be an understatement, but your professionalism and humour gave me confidence in your ability to get me up in the air and back to base in one piece. Thanks to Tony, my tandem buddy, it is seldom I put that much trust in someone particularly when my life is as stake, you rock!!! Thanks to the guys who did the camera work, the DVD is great, so pleased I decided to get it. I may consider another skydive sometime … (maybe) but the memory of my first skydive and thrill will be with me for a very, very long time.

Hi there,
Just dropping a line to say thank you very much for an incomparable experience last weekend. Your operation is unlike many today; while yours is still a commercial operation the relaxed atmosphere and kiwi ingenuity (such as the hack sawed van) with international flavour is fairly unique. Thanks to Jamie who got us down safe and sound – it was pumping! Many thanks to you all.

To all the staff at nzskydive,
Thanks so much for such an amazing morning! Doing the jump was one of the most incredible experiences I've ever had! Talking to Aaron beforehand just to get the lowdown about it and being able to ask all questions I needed to (i.e. the parachute will open, right?!) really made me feel confident about doing the jump. To be honest, when I woke up this morning I was so worried I'd not be able to go through with it, but by the time I was up in the plane I was totally ready. And it was so amazing, I just wanted to do it again straight after! To anyone else there who is thinking - "Can I actually throw myself out of a plane?" I'd say damn right, and you'll love every second. It's not scary, it's a totally mind blowing experience, DO IT!
Thanks again!!

I am just writing to say thanks. I did a skydive with you guys on Xmas Eve (I had pink hair). It was absolutely fantastic and I’ve watched the DVD loads. My friends have seen it now too and thought it was great that you guys had a pink jumpsuit for me to match my hair!! I have a photo of me and Laszlo on my desk at work along with my framed certificate. I just wanted to thank you guys – it was a proper kick start to my holiday. I am planning to come back in a couple of years (when I can save up the money) so I shall look you guys up then as I most definitely want to do it again.

Would you pass on my sincerest thanks to Noel and all the others that helped giving me the confidence to do my jump. It was the most awesome experience that has just tantalized me and I want to do it again and perhaps one day learn to do it solo. The smile on my face hasn’t stopped all day and at times I chuckled away and the video has been shown many times at work today. I was asked what will I do next, I told them probably another one when I save the money. You people are just an awesome friendly lot. I had to do something I hate today and I said I don’t think I can say no to that person … the girls said of course you can. I thought about it and said yea, if I can jump out of a plane at 12,000 feet I can do anything. So this jump is going to help me in other areas of my life. THANKS, THANKS, THANKS.
Kindest regards from Florence, Warkworth |

I am the ancient London tour guide who went skydiving with Jamie on 8th February. I was on such a high I didn’t sleep for 2 nights. The film developed well and one photo is now framed (show off) and people are fascinated by the video. I am now encouraging others to go skydiving. Thanks to everyone for making my friend and I so welcome.

I returned to Japan safely. Although condition was broken down for a while by the difference in climate, I became fine now. I enjoyed skydiving very much and was able to make good recollections. Thank you very much. New Zealand is a very beautiful country; I will want to visit New Zealand once again very much. I will enjoy skydiving then again.

Just wanted to say a big thank you to all the team at NZSkydive Auckland for a fantastic day last Wednesday 24th of July. Claire and I were both so awe struck we probably didn’t say much of a thank you. It was a great way to start a new decade and we are recommending it to all and sundry … especially so we can dine out on the fact we did it.
Cheers

Just had to write and say a big thank you for a very enjoyable afternoon last Saturday. I came to watch my kids, Kevin and Wendy do a skydive and from the moment we arrived we were made to feel so welcome. Nothing it seemed was a problem. You were all so helpful, so willing to oblige. You made the whole experience for both participants and spectators alike so much fun. Thank you very much. I will have no hesitation in recommending you to others. And I know we will see you again soon.
Thank you.

ust a short email to thank you all at NZSkydive Auckland for helping to complete a wonderful holiday in New Zealand this Easter. Thanks especially to Rob, who tandem dived with my wife Terry and my 10 year old daughter, Charlie. We all enjoyed the skydive immensely and have almost worn out the video that you shot of my daughter! She has impressed all of her school friends with it. Thanks again, may even see you next time we visit (probably next year or if not, definitely the year after-saving hard already).
Cheers

I just wanted to thank you for giving me the most memorable day of my life yesterday. Les, thank you for putting the idea into my head a couple of years ago. Alan, thank you for attaching yourself to me so well!! and for not laughing at all the silly questions I’m sure I asked you beforehand. Dean, video cameraman extraordinaire, you were just terrific – thank you. I can’t speak highly enough of you guys and one day I might even do it again! Cheers

The family of Roy Alfred wish to thank you for your courtesy and fun enabling all of us to enjoy the skydive as much as Alf did. His grandchildren were rapt to be able to part of it. Once again I thank you,
