Our Story
About Us
Skydive Fiji commenced operations in Nadi on the 14th of April 2004, offering thrilling adventure activity of tandem skydiving for the first time in Fiji. The company is owned and operated by Tim and Susan Joyce. Looking for a business venture, Tim noticed the lack of adventure activities for tourists and saw a gap and opportunity in the Fiji market to introduce an adventure activity.
They registered the business, sailed back to Australia, packed up their lives and returned in 2004 to live. Tim flew his especially modified 6seat Cessna aircraft on the long journey from Australia to Fiji. Facing some scepticism and apprehension at the start from an industry that was still promoting Fiji as a “flop and drop”destination, Tim and Susan were overjoyed that the idea of Tandem Skydiving was soon well received and supported by the Tourism Fiji stakeholders. On June 8th 2004, Tim jumped out of a perfectly serviceable aeroplane over Denarau with Skydive Fiji’s first tandem passenger. This was a thrilling experience of a 60second free-fall at 200km/hr overlooking the glorious Mamanuca Island before a 7-8minute scenic parachute ride and landing. After very humble beginnings, and 18years later Skydive Fiji now has a high profile in Fiji, employs more than 17people,has an excellent safety record and injects quiet a substancial amount yearly into the tourism sector of the Fijian economy.

The Cessna is also fitted with custom made in-flight opening door which enables comfortable skydiving operations. The GA-8 is equipped with a customized sliding door, which allows easy and comfortable exit. The Cessna aircraft carries up to two tandems and an extra camera person on each load.
