Investigators believe a group of people jumped from a plane in Torquay, with two landing near Breamlea Road.
A 34-year-old Sydenham man died at the scene. A second skydiver who landed in the same area was not injured.
“The Australian Parachute Federation is at the scene and will investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident,” a spokeswoman for Victoria Police said.
Police will prepare a report for the coroner.
In July last year, skydiving instructor Arron Toepfer was killed when his parachute malfunctioned during a tandem skydive in Torquay.
The other person in the tandem with Toepfer, a man in his 50s, broke his leg when they crashed into a paddock on Fischer Street in Torquay.
