New Skydiving Website

Our friends over at Sunshine Coast Skydiving in Caloundra are keeping it fresh with a wicked upgrade to their website.

Sunny Coast Skydivers’ new website looks great and is a terrific upgrade from their old one. The old one wasn’t that bad, mind you, just a little unfriendly in certain places. The new site is much easier to navigate and I’m sure they’re gonna get a lot more visitors to this one. You should check it out now if you’ve got a chance.

To coincide with their new website, SCS have even put up a couple of skydiving videos on youtube

Just like the staff of badass skydiving ninjas at Sunshine Coast Skydivers, their new website is friendly, informative and more than a little EXTREME!!!!

They are trained skydiving professionals with an outstanding safety record so you needn’t fear an EXTREME!!!! Skydiving Accident like the moron in this youtube video

Tandem Skydive accidents may be extreme…

…but they are extremely rare, especially if:

  1. you’re not an idiot like the bloke in the video, and
  2. you go tandem skydiving with experienced professionals like the staff at Sunshine Coast Skydivers of Caloundra

It’s no skydiving accident that SCSkydivers are Wicked Friends of Wicked Campres and it’s no surprise that they’d be willing to pass on the love to our customers. If you’re heading to Caloundra in your Wicked Camper then make sure you stop in and exercise your right to redeem the Wicked Skydiving Discount!
