 Tandem SkydiveTandem Skydive with UK Parachuting
This is the best way to experience freefall, with the minimum of fuss... a once in a lifetime experience!
Tandem Skydiving - what's involved?
To experience every aspect of our sport on your very first jump, a Tandem Skydive is just the thing! Following a short pre-jump briefing, you will experience the thrill of freefall and even learn the basics of steering and landing a modern 'square' gliding parachute, while securely attached to a highly experienced Instructor.
You will have a parachute specially designed for two people. You'll take an aircraft to around 13,000ft (approx. 2 miles high!) where you'll leave the aircraft with your instructor. Falling at 120mph, you descend to 5,000ft in around just 40 seconds, where your instructor will open the parachute and fly you safely back to earth! You'll have around 6 minutes under the parachute to enjoy breathtaking and unique views of the local area.
On the day of your Skydive your Instructor will explain in detail what you will have to do and what will take place during the flight up, the freefall descent and the ride down under the parachute. This briefing normally takes around 20 minutes.
After this, you will be provided with a skydiver's jumpsuit to go over your clothes (you should wear comfortable clothing, such as a track suit, and a pair of trainers). After fitting the tandem parachute harness (and appropriate headgear and goggles) it will take just 20 to 25 minutes on the way up in the aircraft - then it's out into the blue!

 Accelerated Free Fall (AFF)Learn to Skydive with UK Parachuting
Accelerated Free Fall (AFF) Courses
The AFF course is based on eight Levels of accomplishment, normally one skydive at each Level, and is designed to take place over a full week or broken down over a few w/ends. Given good weather, the course may sometimes be completed in as little as 3 days. After graduating from the Course, you perform a further ten consolidation jumps, guided by your Instructors, practising the skills you have learned, after which you will be awarded 'Category Eight' - and your first International Skydiving Licence!
The course commences with a full day of ground tuition with your Instructor. This covers the theory and practice of Skydiving and the use of your parachute system. You will learn safety procedures, how the equipment operates, how to exit the aircraft with your Instructors, how to maintain control and communicate in freefall, how to initiate the opening of the main parachute, and how to steer down to the landing area and land safely. Before jumping, you will practise all the procedures for both your skydive and the parachute descent until your Instructors are completely satisfied with your abilities.
Then you'll take the aircraft right ‘to the top’ - around 13,000 feet - and with one instructor at each side you'll exit the aircraft and put your new skills to the test!
With the maximum amount of time in freefall, and the very best instructors at your side (these guys have done over 7000 skydives each!), you'll get the ultimate experience and the maximum achievement!
Once you've deployed your own parachute (yes, on your first jump!), you'll fly it safely back to the landing area yourself and meet your instructors for a de-brief and a 20 minute brief for your next skydive.
With our full-time experienced instructors it's possible to complete all 8 AFF Levels in as little as 3 days! Yes - that's you in the air, skydiving by yourself, in 3 days!
We also offer an option to have a Freefall Photographer with you on Levels 1 to 7, providing a video record for you to keep. Please ask us for more details.
