Experienced Skydiving Information

2way Freefly trainingSkydive Hibaldstow prides itself on catering to all levels of skydivers and having a busy event calendar. We have full time coaches and organizers as well as various world class coaches running events throughout the year. These include small formation skydiving and freefly group events, big way skydiving events, records attempts, tracking dives, hybrid jumps, canopy formation, wing suiting and team training events.

We also have a full time events co-coordinator and FS organizer and coach to accommodate all skydivers, but especially the newly qualified A-license students. His role is to enhance your whole skydiving experience while skydiving, but also on the ground during those bad weather days; and also in the evening providing entertainment and hosting various games and challenges.

Free Coaching Fridays

Skydive Hibaldstow is pleased to announce that throughout the summer months, we are offering free coaching for both formation skydivers wishing to attain FS1 and freefly jumpers looking at FF1. If you are a freeflyer, please contact the dropzone to ensure we have a coach on hand for you.

The cost of coaching is only two slots per jump, and always includes a comprehensive pre-jump brief, filmed skydive and post skydive debrief. During our special skysaver weeks, slots are only £18, so why not sneak out of work and join us for some skydives.

Coaching is walk-up but we may prioritise those who pre-book so let us know if you are planning to come by emailing.

Over the past couple of years, team training has expanded at Skydive Hibaldstow. We have selected weeks listed below where our priority is to help teams train as efficiently as possible. For these weeks we open 7 days (we normally close on a Tuesday) and have the cafe and bar facilities open as well.

For those teams who can, there is the opportunity to do back-to-back skydives. For those not able to, the turn around is very quick and so you can still get plenty of jumps in at a fast rate.

Teams such as Satori and SonicNutz were able to make up to 20 jumps per day and have made the most of these training weeks going on to great success at the Nationals Skydiving Championships.

Using the competition aircraft climbing up to competition height 15,000ft in under 13 minutes, our efficient manifesting system enables teams to train as intensively as they wish.
