Skydiving and parachuting page.
Static Line Course: A course for those wishing to jump on their own. Parachute jumps are made from 3,500ft using a static line, a system which automatically deploys your main parachute as you fall away from the aircraft. All first jumps are recorded on video for debriefing purposes and copies can be purchased for £24 if required. Allow two full days for this course.
Tandem Jump: You will exit the aircraft securely strapped to the front of your instructor who will control the freefall element of your skydive, open the parachute for you at around 5,000ft, and then steer your parachute safely back to the landing area for a soft controlled landing. You may also elect to have a freefall cameraman jump with you to video or photograph your jump at an extra cost of £80 (this must be booked in advance).
Accelerated Free Fall Course (Level 1): An intensive introductory course for those wanting to learn how to skydive on their own from the word go!
