Thumbs up

Some research will show that the operator has approval for no belts, and for divers with full gear to jump from relatively low heights. Need to have a dive ticket first and there's a structured program including briefings. Haven't been able to get the footage but I'd be amazed if a briefing didn't occur. The operator has his particular style, but did everything he said he would.

CASA are aware of this operator's activity - rumoured to include an FOI covertly undertaking the course and finding no departure from approvals.

If you are a diver, I'd suggest a bit of experience, otherwise strongly recommended, worth every cent.
