Skydive Mossel Bay

Skydive Mossel Bay, which recently won a Youth Travel award for its promotional video, says they’re looking for a 102-year-old to jump and with them and set up a world record.

According to Skydive Mossel Bay’s marketing manager, Dianne Taylor, the record is currently held by Frank Moody, who jumped with Skydive Cairns in June 2004 at the ripe old age of 101.

She said skydiving had really taken off in Mossel Bay, and that the company enjoyed a bumper May and June, with more than 200 tandem jumps during May alone. She said that 90% of jumpers come from overseas.
“Many sports jumpers join us on the weekends to further their courses and get more advanced licenses, we often jump to create formations in the sky, and usually the last load of the day jumps to land on the beach.
