The perfect introduction to skydiving

Tandem Skydive

Tandem skydiving really is a great way to experience your first skydive; whether you are skydiving for your own fun, making a charity skydive or just proving to yourself and friends that you really are capable of doing something that little bit different. A tandem skydive also makes an incredible gift, you can buy a tandem skydiving voucher right now.

Tandem Skydive

You will experience the rush and amazing beauty of freefall at around 120 mph on your very first skydive. This will last just under a minute and you can enjoy the whole incredible experience knowing that you're in the hands of a friendly, qualified skydiving professional.

Your skydiving adventure can also be filmed by one of our talented cameramen who will film your pre-jump excitement, journey on the plane and tandem skydive itself. It's a great souvenir and a wonderful way of showing friends and family what you have achieved. This is available as an optional extra and we strongly recommend it so that your memory of the day can be fully preserved!
