Product Description
Tandem Skydive Course & Jump
For a once-in-a-lifetime experience, a Tandem Skydive is unlikely to be forgotten! Many do sponsored tandem jumps for charity or simply just for the thrill of falling at speeds in the order of 120-180 mph.
A minimum of 10 minutes instruction is required before a freefall descent attached to an instructor, however with Documentation, Orientation and a Video/DVD presentation the preparation for the jump normally lasts 40-90 minutes. Courses take place on weekends late January through late December, and during British Summer Time on Bank Holiday Mondays, Wednesday & Friday afternoons. Other dates can be considered for group bookings. Following training a full day or in the event of adverse conditions another full good weather day should be set aside for the jump.
Allowing for repack cycles the time required for 1 instructor to complete 1 tandem jump & make ready for the next is in the order of 1.5 hrs; accordingly given several individuals will book for one day a full day, or in the case of inclement weather additional days, should be set aside for this activity. We can field between 1 and 4 tandem instructors & work on a ratio not exceeding 1 student per instructor per 90 minutes of daylight hours during our advertised operating hours (0830-2030/dark).
A video can be a good memento of your jump and there is a pool of cameramen available to jump with you to capture your skydive experience on tape or DVD. Each video is a unique reminder of your day, not just the jump itself. The camera pool have considerable experience and will provide you with a professionally edited film for you to keep. Videos can be organised on the day however if you know you will want to have your skydive filmed when you book please inform us then to enable the camera pool to better prepare for you.
A tandem skydive is an ideal first way to experience freefall as well as a fun jump. Many do a tandem skydive for charity and it can be a way of jumping at no cost to yourself. Family and friends are welcome to watch and share your day. We have a cafe, licenced bar, outside seating and a designated spectator area.
