Tandem Skydive (UK Wide) - £269

Strap yourself to a skydiving instructor and jump out of perfectly good aeroplane with this 12,000 foot tandem skydive. The ideal gift for adrenaline junkies.

 

What does the activity include ?
This has to be the ultimate in adrenaline experiences. Your experience begins with a nail biting plane flight to the drop zone. When the noise of the engines quietens you'll know it's time to make your move. At an altitude of 12,000ft you and the qualified instructor strapped to your back will exit the aircraft and begin the 7,000ft freefall during which you'll reach speeds of around 120mph. At 5,000ft your instructor will deploy the parachute and you'll gently float down to the landing zone.

You will receive a short briefing prior to your jump and be kitted out with a skydiver's jump suit to wear over your clothes (please wear comfortable clothes such as a tracksuit and trainers), headgear and goggles. Once the tandem parachute harness has been fitted it will take the jump plane about 25 minutes to reach the correct altitude and then all you have to do is hang on!

Where does the experience take place ?
Cambridgeshire, Oxfordshire, Norfolk (South East), Devon, Wiltshire (South West), Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire (Midlands), Cumbria (North), Fife (Scotland)

What else do I need to know ?
