It’s like parachuting without all the training. After a short safety briefing, fly to an exhilarating 10-12,000 feet and leap into a 5,000 feet free fall strapped to your British Parachute Association tandem instructor who will control the whole descent, including the parachute opening and the landing. All the thrill without all the drill.
The ultimate adrenalin experience! After a twenty five minute nail biting plane ride to reach the required altitude, the roar of the engines softens and you realise your time has come, it’s now or never as you are over the drop zone. What follows is up to 7,000ft of freefall at speeds of around 120mph strapped securely to a qualified instructor. At 5000ft the instructor deploys the parachute and you float gently into the landing zone.
Agenda:
Following a short pre-jump briefing you will be provided with a skydivers jump suit to go over your clothes (you should wear comfortable clothing such as a track suit and trainers). Then after fitting a tandem parachute harness (and appropriate headgear and goggles) the jump plane will take 20-25 minutes to reach the required altitude - then it’s out in to the blue!
