    This was my 60th birthday present from my children. It could not have been better. The weather was perfect, the staff at the BPA at Sibson airfield was so friendly, amusing and encouraging. The skydive was brilliant from start to finish, and the Instructor, Chris, so funny, he got all my family involved , before and after. I felt thoroughly safe and yet it was totally exhilarating. I can't wait to see the video. We are and will be talking about it for weeks to come. I would encourage anyone to do the skydive - you will not regret it !!!!

    Had an amazing experience and so glad I plucked up courage to do it. There was a lot of waiting and felt bad for my family who waited with me. Not a lot at the place to do so worth taking a picknic and perhaps some games. Service from the Tandem Dive school was great and made to feel relaxed.

    A stunning day, 13,500ft up in the air with the door open and me hanging out of it. Just for a second or two though. Grab my harness, fold my legs back, push hips forward, look at the camera man then... whoosh!! The next thing I could see was the horizon upside down, then the white plane, in the stunning blue background disappearing very rapidly into the distance! The following 40 seconds was utter joy. I could not stop grinning and whooping. Smiling at the cameraman, then going into a flat spin. Wow. Then a beautiful, scenic float down to earth, with a few spins thrown in for fun. I even took control of the parachute for a while. The staff and instructors at the jump centre could not have been more helpful and reassuring. What an experience. I am definitely going to talk some friends into having a go and will happily book up for myself to do another jump. I am hooked!!

    Great Memories For The Rest Of My Life!

    Tnadem skydiving was the best thing I have done so far, im so happy I have completed it. Full of adrenaline and leaves you with the best feeling after. I would reccommend it to anyone who thinks they're brave enough to jump 13,000 feet

    You can't get more of an adrenaline-fuelled experience than this. The staff at the skydive centre were absolutely excellent in every way.

    It was for my wife and she really enjoyed the whole experience. We went to Sibson Airfield near Peterborough and they were very professional and put her totally at ease the entire time. Would totally recommend it.

    As we rolled out of the plane at 13,000 ft it just blew my mind away; what an experience! From arriving at reception to being delicately placed on my backside after dropping 3 miles this was perfection. A great team of people with a real buzz around the club I was made to feel a part of it. Dry humour helped the briefing sink in and I certainly made sure I lifted my feet because I knew without a doubt it would REALLY hurt if I didn't; the cameraderie in the plane, handshakes and thumbs up all round as we climbed steadily up to the moment of truth. Could I jump out into the towering cumulus clouds? Actually sitting on former parachute regiment Chris's lap in the doorway there wasn't much choice but the piece de resistance was the perfect tiny rainbow on the clouds with our shadows plumb in the centre! Then the deceleration as the 'chute opened and the amazing views across to the Wash and left hand down passed Rutland Water to Northampton and finally a perfect gentle landing. Fantastic!

    A Day Like No Other!

    What a 'red letter day'! Exhilarating, scary, great fun, adrenalin fuelled, and one I wouldn't have missed for the world. The people were brilliant, and my instructor Wes looked after me great. He was so relaxed and friendly and added to the whole experience. A great memory to treasure!

    Had a brilliant day. The team were brilliant. I thought the nerves would kick in when my name was called to go but I felt amazingly calm through out the whole jump. My instructor was great and I am sure was the reason I stayed calm. One of the best parts about the whole thing was when we made our own rainbow in the sky and could see our shadow in the middle - Wow. Absolutely amazing experience and one I have wanted to do since I was 18 ... only taken 22 years to achieve. Thanks for making it so great.

    Brilliant Day! Would Do It Again Tomorrow!

    Unforgettable Day Out

    The day I woke up knowing that I was going to jump 13000ft out of a plane was one of the most exciting days of my life because I had been wanting to do it for a long time. The staff were fantastic - they made you feel part of the team, made you laugh and watching the other tandems coming down was a buzz knowing I would be up there soon. I loved every minute of it, from the 15min plane ride up to 13000ft to the jump itself, the instructors were great and made you feel safe. I would recommend this to anyone and have just booked my second tandem with my brothers!

    Awesome!

    I would never have planned a parachute jump myself but this was arranged as a birthday present so I took it on as a challenge. The experience was surreal and far exceeded my expectations. I thought I would just endure the jump but instead, I found myself trying to absorb everything and my senses were overloaded. Although the freefall was 48 seconds, it felt like 10. I was also amazed at the manoeuvrability of the parachute and the sensation of braking and acceleration that could be achieved. The instructors were professional and good fun at the same time. Fantastic weather also added to the whole experience.

    Absolutely Phenomenal Experience

    On arrival the staff, instructors and ground team were all extremely welcoming, approachable, warm and suportive not just to myself but to my family too. They were all extremely passionate about making the skydiving event the most 'memorable experience you would ever encounter' and it most definitely was. The training was relaxed though very thorough at the same time, instilling great calm and confidence in their ability and expertise. Teaching points and guidance was given constantly during each stage of the dive in a very calm and approachable manner. The instructor's passion followed through right through the dive - caring, reasurance, pointing things out to see. On the ground all the team were fantastic with my family and encouraged them to watch the landing and everyone really got involved in embracing the special moment - an absolutely breathtaking day in everyway.

    Pure Brilliance!

    Fantastic, fun experience, adrenaline rush that was so euphoric, like having a thousand espresso coffees and red bull in one hit!!! Jump instructors were attentive, reassuring and wanted to make the experience as brilliant as possible. Free fall from 15,000 feet, then parachute is opened and you glide and spin your way to a perfect landing !!!! :-)

    What A Hangover Cure!!!!!

    Wow, if I could wake up every Sunday morning and fall 10,000ft I'd be right as rain! Unbelievable experience, it doesn't feel like you are falling, it feels like you're flying! Wanted to go straight back up and do it again. Already got a group of ten (so far, there will probably be more) ready for the next one. Going for a group booking next, what better way to get some friends together??
