What Can I Expect
Try skydiving in Cambridge for the ultimate adrenaline rush! The sky’s the limit for these tandem parachute experiences from 7000, 10,000 or a whopping 15,000ft, available from Chatteris Airfield near Cambridge.
After arriving at the aerodrome, you'll be briefed on key skydive safety techniques, before taking to the air in a high-speed, high-capacity aircraft for your jump over the Cambridgeshire countryside, all whilst strapped securely to your own skydiving instructor.
Exiting the plane is THE moment. Freefalling at 125 mph is a sensation like no other. And of course, the higher you jump from, the longer the freefall. Opt for the 15,000 ft tandem jump and you experience an incredible 60 seconds of freefalling!
Your instructor will deploy the parachute at a height of 5,000ft, allowing you to soar majestically over the tranquil scenery of Cambridge below to the Chatteris Airfield drop zone. You'll then land safely to the cheers of the watching spectators, who can observe your bravery from a safe viewing point.
For an amazing memento of your tandem parachute jump, book in advance with our Cambridge team for a freefall cameraman to accompany you in the sky for your dive, catching every second of excitement on film for you to take home and treasure.
Skydiving with Cambridge’s long-established Chatteris Airfield school is sure to give you that 'blue skies' thrill (that's seasoned skydiver talk for ‘have a good jump’ don't you know!) so book now and get ready to go tandem!
