Briefing on skydiving techniques by fully qualified instructors
Jump from 7,000 foot safely harnessed in
Freefall for 40 mind-blowing seconds before the chute opens
A perfect mix of adrenaline rush and breathtaking views

Enjoy the unrivalled thrill of freefalling towards the ground from 7,000 foot with this adrenaline-pumping introductory tandem skydiving experience. There's a short pre-jump briefing from an expert first, then get into a skydiver's jumpsuit before heading up in the plane with the instructor. Learn the basics of steering and landing a parachute before that ultimate thrill of the freefall. Leave the plane safely attached to the instructor and plummet at around 120 mph, descending to 5,000 feet in around 40 seconds - wow!. The instructor opens the parachute and flies you both back down safely. There are around six magical minutes under the parachute, a perfect mix of adrenaline rush and unique, breathtaking views to take in.
