What Is Tandem Skydiving?

Tandem skydiving allows you to experience the thrill of freefall skydiving without any extensive training and is our most popular UK skydiving course.
After a short tandem briefing, you will jump harnessed to the front of a fully qualified parachuting instructor from 15,000ft. From this height, you will enjoy one whole adrenaline-fuelled minute of freefall reaching terminal velocity at 120mph.

Why Choose A Tandem Parachute Jump?

We also offer a ‘learn to skydive’ training course – Accelerated Freefall (AFF). No experience is required however this involves one full day of skydiving training before you can jump. Therefore tandem skydiving is most people’s choice as their first venture into the world of parachuting.

• Skydive without the need for extensive training – only a 20 minute briefing is required as it is the instructor who opens and lands the parachute.
• Enjoy the freedom of the skies and take in the view from a few miles above the earth.
• Tandem skydiving is open to pretty much anyone as long as you are aged 16+ and weigh less than 95 kg. If you are over 95kg , an additional charge of £15 will be made up to a maximum of 100 kg. Our oldest skydiver to date is 93! Take a look at our full list of restrictions. 

CAN I GET MY TANDEM SKYDIVE RECORDED?

We have a team of qualified camera flyers who are the experts in capturing your experience for you to be able to relive time and time again or to share with your friends and family. When purchasing our photo and video package you will get:

• Personal camera flyer – a skydiver dedicated to you for the whole experience to be able to record every aspect of your jump.
• Pre-jump interview – a chance to send a message to friends and family prior to embarking on your exciting experience.
• Boarding shot – those last few moments before you take off from solid ground and another chance for some camera interaction.
• Plane journey footage – those clips during the journey to altitude of last minute nerves and excitement.
• The Exit shot (the best bit) – the camera flyer hangs on to the side of the plane at the same as you do to capture that moment you exit the plane with your instructor.
• The Freefall (the other best bit) – this is where the camera flyer fly’s around you during the freefall, they give the full 360 view and lots of face to face interaction with the camera (and social media profile pictures)
• The landing shot – the camera flyer is on the ground waiting for you to land and they record your reaction after arriving back onto the ground and another opportunity for a post jump interview.
• The still shots – throughout the whole experience they are also taking still shots with their second camera to provide between 60-80 still shots and this is where people get their favourite social media pictures to share the experience with friends and family.

For your convenience, the entire package is sent via email for you to download to any device. If you would prefer a USB stick with your photos and video, you can purchase one on the day for an additional £5.

What Happens On The Tandem Skydiving Course

When you book your tandem parachute jump, you will be given an arrival time for one of our sessions. Once you arrive on-site you need to register with our reception.

• During a group briefing, your Tandem Instructor will explain everything you need to know about your skydiving experience and you can ask as many questions as you like.
• Your instructor will kit you in a jumpsuit and special dual harness when its your time to jump. You will also be given headgear and goggles.
• Once you have boarded the aircraft, it takes less than 15 minutes to reach skydiving altitude and you’ll be 3 miles above the dropzone.
• After leaping from the open door you’ll experience up to one minute of freefall.
• The instructor opens your parachute at around 5,000ft and you then enjoy around 5 minutes under canopy taking in the spectacular views of the Lincolnshire Wolds before landing back on the dropzone.
• The spectator area is not far away, so you can head back to see your friends and family before you instructor helps you out of your kit.
• Before you leave, you will be presented with a Tandem Jump certificate to prove you were brave enough to ­skydive.
• If you booked our video and photo package, then this will be ready either shortly after you land.

Your skydiving experience ideally takes only a few hours and we book staggered arrival times in order to reduce waiting times as much as possible.

Normally on a weekend you should expect to be with us at Skydive Hibaldstow for at least 5-6 hours and midweek 3-4 hours. However, we cannot account for weather or other delays so please do not be in a rush and allow yourself the whole day to enjoy this unique experience.

Please note that dogs are not permitted on the airfield (except guide dogs) under any circumstances, so please do not bring them with you.
