Tandem skydiving experience - jump out of a plane

Safely strapped to a British Parachute Association tandem instructor, make a leap into a 5000 feet free-fall. At 10,000 feet in the air (that's quite high if you are wondering), you zoom down to earth at scorching 120mph. Then, after that initial buzz, your parachute will open and you can relax, enjoying the bird's eye view, as you float back to earth. Definitely something you will never forget...

What happens on the day?

Need more reassurance before you take the plunge? Don't worry, your instructor will give you a complete and very thorough briefing on absolutely all aspects of your skydive, including:

  • How to leave the aircraft
  • How to position yourself in free-fall
  • How to steer the parachute to your landing point

The aircraft will then take about 15-minute to climb to an altitude of between 10,000 and 12,000 feet. Your instructor will be with you every step of the way up, as well as the way down.

Please note that this is a one-to-one instruction experience.
