Tandem skydiving in 7 locations of your choice in the UK

Put on your overalls, put on your goggles and get in the airplane! This is a fantastic experience where you will feel the thrill of jumping from the door of an airplane from a height of up to approx 3000 meters. 

Enjoy the unique sensation of freefall, before the parachute opens and you slow down to take in the spectacular scenery beneath your feet. You don't have to worry too much, as you will be connected to a qualified and experienced instructor at all times so you can relax and enjoy the ride. You can even bring some friends so they can see and film you!

How does it work?

When you arrive at the center, you will be asked to hand in a declaration of health form and, if the instructor feels you are physically fit, you will be registered as a provisional member of British Skydiving and provided with all the necessary equipment. 

You will receive a safety briefing and practise the techniques required for skydiving. As you will be jumping with the instructor, you can relax, as he will be doing all the operations. You will then be kitted up in your special jump suit, wear a double harness and will be given a helmet with goggles. You will take off in a helicopter or small airplane and, once you reach an altitude of 3000 m, you are ready to jump.
