Tandem skydiving gives you the opportunity to experience the thrill of freefall on your first jump from only £220**
You will jump from up to 13,000 feet attached to your instructor using a specially designed dual harness. The instructor controls the freefall, parachute opening and landing, leaving you free to enjoy the view and the sensation of freefall. Because Tandem skydiving does not require an intensive ground school (Apx 20 minutes) it is normally an activty completed in one day
* Weather and air traffic restrictions may apply.
** Group Booking rate
After a short briefing you will be ready to jump from up to 13,000 feet*. Training is run throughout the day and students are strapped to the front of a Tandem Instructor who is there to control the skydive for you.
Once you exit at up to 13,000 feet* you accelerate to 120 mph, covering each thousand feet in approximately five seconds. At 5,000 feet the Instructor will deploy the parachute which will then be controlled by both persons until you land softly and gently some four minutes later.
Terms : All students are required to have a provisional membership of the British Parachute Association, which entitles them to a Third Party liability insurance of £2,000,000. This paperwork will be filled in via our online portal or for a slower day on arrival. The cost of the membership/insurance is included in the price. Personal Accident insurance cover can be arranged at the centre on the day if required.
