Our student equipment is the most modern student training equipment in the world, and internationally recognised. We were one of the first clubs in Australia to train our students using a throw-away pilot chute and two action emergency procedures. Instead of being taught to pull a ripcord to deploy your parachute, which you then have to hold onto and not lose, (it can get expensive if you drop it,) we will teach you to use a hand-deployed pilot chute. Instead of being trained to pull a single yellow handle for your emergency procedures, we will train you the correct handles to pull from the start. Every sport skydiver in Australia uses a two-action emergency procedure, and almost all use a throw away pilot chute. That means that when you finish your student training, you do not have to do a conversion course to change your equipment, and unlearn the procedures you have learned. At Wickham Skydivers, we believe in learning it right the first time, and the equipment you wear as a student looks exactly the same as what your instructor wears. This fact alone makes us unique to all other dropzones in Western Australia. And, there's no expensive conversion courses to do after you've achieved your A-licence. Our student equipment is  designed  in every way so that your safety is not compromised. It really is the best. Our student harnesses are Wings parachute systems. They contain the most trusted and reliable Automatic Activation Device, the Cypres. Our student parachutes are Aerodyne Solo, Hickster Vantage and Performance Designs' Sabre 2.

Our tandem equipment is The Relative Workshop's Sigma Tandem Harness, the latest, safest and most comfortable design from the father of modern skydiving, Bill Booth. Inside the Sigmas are new Aerodyne A2 350 tandem canopies.
