What is a tandem skydive?

Where do I jump from if I book a Birmingham skydive?

Skydiving near Birmingham takes place at nearby airfields rather than directly in the city. Depending on availability, you may jump at locations such as Whitchurch, Nottingham or Brackley, all within reasonable driving distance of Birmingham.

Most tandem skydives near Birmingham take place from heights of up to 13,000 ft, with some locations offering jumps from up to 15,000 ft. You’ll experience an exhilarating freefall before your parachute opens at around 5,000 ft.
