A Tandem skydive lets you experience free fall without the need for lots of training. After a brief 20 minute training session you will be ready to skydive. You will be kitted up and then head to the aircraft. Once you have boarded the aircraft it will only take around 15-20 minutes to reach skydiving altitude. You will free fall from at least 10,000 feet with the parachute being opened at 5,000 feet after you have experienced around 1 minute of free fall. You then get to enjoy the last mile under canopy with your instructor, taking in the spectacular views before a soft landing back at the airfield. This is the perfect experience for your first-time jump as you are attached to an instructor who does all of the work for you, leaving you free to the view!
