Types of jumps available:

Tandem Skydive

A tandem skydive is the easiest and most popular of all skydives. It requires only 30 minutes of training before you then jump strapped to your instructor! The BPA (British Parachute Association) qualified tandem instructor does all of the hard work for you, allowing you to enjoy the exhilarating feeling of flying through the clouds from over 10,000 feet at up to 120 mph! It is a truly unforgettable experience.

Static Line – solo skydive from 3,000 feet.

A static line parachute jump is the very first step to becoming a certified skydiver. The jump involves a day’s training at the airfield and once this is completed you can then solo jump from around 3,000 feet. You will jump by yourself but there is no freefall involved as your parachute will be pulled automatically as you leave the air craft.

Accelerated Freefall – solo skydive from 10,000 feet.

The Accelerated Freefall Level 1 course is the quickest way to be a solo skydiver! It requires a day's training before you get taken up to a height of 10,000 feet and complete a solo skydive! Two fully qualified instructors will be with you every step of the way, but you will not be strapped to either of them and will be responsible for pulling your own parachute. After completing this jump you will be cleared to complete the full course and be well on your way to full qualification as a skydiver…

I’m not good with heights, but jumping out of a plane was the best way I could make a positive out of a truly horrendous situation, raising £1,300 for the Linden Centre. It will still never be enough to thank them for how they supported me and my family.
