Tandem parachuting is
our most popular UK skydiving course. It is designed to
allow you to experience freefall skydiving without the
fuss of doing an intensive course. After 20 minutes of
instruction you will be ready to do a parachute jump
with your tandem instructor.
You will experience
terminal velocity at around 120 mph on your first jump
for up to a minute!
Why choose a Tandem Parachute Jump?
Compared to our other
courses (Accelerated Freefall Level 1 and Static-Line)
there are several key advantages. For a start, the
training takes less time because you have a qualified
instructor harnessed to you during the jump. They will
guide you through the skydive and have thousands of jumps. In
addition, you have the chance to explore the freedom of
freefall without concentrating on your instructors. You
can look around the beautiful scenery, smile at the
video camera (if you have added that into your package)
and enjoy the thrill of a lifetime.
