You should expect to land 90 minutes after your arrival time, however, we do not run a scheduled service and we can experience delays or in some circumstances timing alterations. You may keep in touch with your spectators to keep them updated.

You should wear casual clothes and flat soled shoes, such as trainers on your feet. We supply all the equipment including overalls and goggles.

Your Tandem jump is made from up to 10,000 feet, equivalent to 2 miles high. This gives approximately 30 seconds of free fall time, before the parachute is deployed, then a further 5 minutes descending under the parachute.

No problem. We can supply oversized goggles to account for glasses.

Customer Area Help You can log in to edit an existing (Future) booking, or use existing credit from a cancelled skydive to re-book any available future date.

We DO NOT guarantee that you can jump at the same time as a friend, although we would try to arrange this if we have two instructors available. If you attend and we have only one instructor, we would expect you to fly & jump separately on two flights if necessary.

Parachuting is constrained by weather, for reasons of safety. Wind speed must be less than 20 Knots, and if there is complete cloud cover below our operating level, jumping may be suspended. Parachutes still operate normally in wet weather, but for your own comfort this is avoided.

Modern parachute equipment is now extremely reliable, however In the unlikely event that the main parachute fails to operate correctly, all equipment is fitted with an emergency backup parachute, which can then be deployed.

If for any reason the Instructor does not open the parachute, an automatic activation device will initiate the parachute deployment at a safe altitude.

It should go without saying that making a parachute jump is not entirely without risk. However, the tight controls which are implemented to maintain safety at all British Skydiving affiliated parachute centres, do so very effectively. You are required to sign an indemnity waiver, accepting the possible risks before you make your skydive.

You are only covered by British Skydiving 3rd party insurance whilst making your parachute jump. This covers any damage you may potentially do, to any other person or property during your skydive. Personal accident insurance is available online, from various companies, which can be found with an internet search & includes options for individual jumps, or annual cover.

British Skydiving governs British sport parachuting, they ensure that parachute centres operate with rules and regulations, and maintain a high standard of safety. All British Skydiving instructors have attended stringent courses to gain qualifications, and the necessary skills.
