Unbelievable experience.Myself and three friends went random skydiving at Skyone Hunter valley. We couldn't have had bigger smiles in our faces when we left if we tried. One friend was particularly nervous about jumping, but all of her questions were answered before hand and she was met with kindness and matter of face information.From getting in our jump suits, a quick plane ride and landing back onto the ground from a 15000ft jump, we couldn't fault a thing. We felt safe and secure, and most of all, we had the greatest experience.Thank you guys. Can't wait to go again
