Description

With a tandem parachute especially designed for two people, you will board an aircraft & soar to around 13,000 feet (approximately two miles high!). When you & your instructor leave the plane, you will fall at about 120 mph, descending to 5,000 feet in around 40 seconds. At this point, your instructor will open the parachute & fly you safely back to earth! During the six minutes or so under the parachute, you will enjoy breath-taking & unique views of the local area & beyond. We guarantee that your tandem skydive will be one of the greatest experiences of your life.

On the day…
On the day of your skydive your tandem instructor will explain in detail what you have to do & what will take place during the flight up, the free fall descent & the ride down under the parachute. This briefing normally takes around 20 minutes.

After this, you will be provided with a skydiver’s jumpsuit to go over your clothes (you should wear comfortable clothing, such as a track suit, & a pair of trainers). After fitting the tandem parachute harness (& appropriate headgear & goggles) you are ready to board the plane for the 15 minute ascent. Then it’s one glorious leap out into the blue!

Our Parachute Training Operations at Beccles & Peterborough are affiliated to British Skydiving (governing body). All tandem instructors are very experienced free fall parachutists who hold British Skydiving Tandem skydiving Instructor ratings. You are in safe hands. We offer a full range of skydiving activities & can cater for large groups of any size – corporate days, hen & stag parties.
