Our History
Skydive Hibaldstow is part of the Swallow Group of dropzones based at Skydive Hibaldstow, Skydive Spain and Skydive Algarve. Skydive Hibaldstow started back in 1992. Since then, the dropzone has become one of the UK and Europe’s largest dropzones. Skydive Hibaldstow’s sister dropzone, Skydive Spain, opened its doors in 2002 and Skydive Algarve became part of the Swallow Group in 2014.
