It's like parachuting without all the training. After a short safety briefing, fly to an exhilarating 10-12,000 feet and leap into a 5,000 feet free fall strapped to your British Parachute Association tandem instructor who will control the whole descent, including the parachute opening and the landing. All the thrill without all the drill.

What's included

• This course takes a part day only and starts with a safety briefing session
• One jump from approx 10-12,000 feet with a fully qualified instructor using a dual-control tandem parachute
• Provisional BPA membership
• Experience gift pack including smart wallet, personalised voucher and message card
• PA cover to a value of £50,000 plus cancellation indemnity

What happens on the day

When you arrive, you will be enrolled as a provisional member of the British Parachute Association and issued with the appropriate equipment. You will be given a safety briefing, practice some techniques required for your jump, and then take your tandem skydive from approx. 10-12,000 feet safely strapped to a BPA Tandem Instructor.
If you wish to stay overnight, many parachuting clubs can offer inexpensive (but basic!) accommodation (this is not covered by your voucher). If you are interested you should enquire about this when you make your booking.
