[gallery size="full" columns="2" ids="12572,12573"] It’s a fiesta! Sky Dive Lanka is the only company in South East Asia that is licensed and approved to provide Skydiving services. Sky Fever was conducted in 2016 for a period of four days and was conducted by Paradise Nature Trails. The event was a great success and created a lot of buzz. And now, after two years, Sky Dive Sri Lanka is going to do it bigger and better. The event is conducted in a carnival atmosphere with food stalls, kids’ corners and much more. This is a free entrance zone and everyone accompanying the divers is guaranteed to have a good time as well. The diving will be conducted in the form of tandem dives. This is when you dive with an instructor stuck to your back. There will be three-tandem packs and two-tandem packs. The pack of three will include a third instructor to document the video of the experience. The divers can select the type of tandem and pay accordingly. The Head of Sales and Marketing at Sky Dive Lanka Nina Silva stated: “This is an event purely meant for beginners and we have a team of excellent French instructors with about 30 years of combined experience.” Speaking of the aircrafts used, Nina said: “We will use two types of high-wing aircrafts; Airvan GA8 and/or the Cessna 206.” Book your tickets soon Besides the diving sessions and the carnival, an after-party will be conducted on 1 December at Amari Galle.
