What's it like?

Imagine standing at the edge of an open doorway in an aircraft flying at 10,000 feet - the noise of the engines and the wind ringing in your ears with only the outline of distant fields below. Now imagine leaning forward out of that doorway and letting go - falling forward into the clouds, diving down through the air as you start free falling at over 120mph! Then imagine the peace and quiet as the canopy opens, the steering toggles come down either side of you and you begin a tranquil parachute descent from a mile up in the air, steering yourself back down to the centre of the drop zone below. Well you can stop imagining because it's real and you can do it at an airfield near you by reserving a place on one of our 10,000 feet free fall tandem skydives!

What does tandem free fall parachuting involve?

Technically the jump is called a 'Tandem Skydive'. It is a Skydive because you will be free falling through the air (without the parachute deployed) for several thousand feet; it is in Tandem because you will be harnessed to a professional parachute instructor at all times throughout the descent. This is the only way you can jump from such an altitude without spending thousands of pounds becoming a free fall parachutist. This is literally the chance of a lifetime! This jump is also much less demanding than the traditional 'static line' jump as the jump and training are completed in one day and your instructor will control your landing.

Points to Remember:

• Jump and training completed in one day
• Harnessed to an experienced parachute instructor at all times
• Jump from at least 10,000 feet - just like the professionals
• Free Fall down to 5,000 feet - falling through the air at 120 mph!
• Ride the parachute down to the ground - we teach you how to steer onto the drop zone
• Landing controlled by your instructor
• Certificate to prove that you have completed a 'two-mile high' Tandem Skydive!
