Peregian local skydives on 80th birthday

A Peregian resident has celebrated her 80th birthday with a leap of faith, jumping out of an aeroplane above the scenic views of Noosa.

Drini Quin loved every moment and was absolutely beaming from the experience with SkyDive Noosa.With her adventurous spirit, Drini said the experience was euphoric.“I have wanted to do this ever since I saw people jumping from cliffs and just flying off and floating free,“ she said.

“I was not nervous at all. Just very excited.“

Drini said she would always remember every moment of the dive.

“My instructor/pilot was fantastic. Very professional, guiding the parachute round and round, pointing out the island and various beaches we were looking at,“ she said.

“Thank you to Chris, who made me feel safe to enjoy every moment. Arriving and landing in front of my children and friends on the beach, was just so fantastic. I couldn’t stop smiling and feeling free.

“It all came to an end far to soon.“

Drini said she encouraged others to take the exciting experience on.
