Experience the ultimate thrill of a tandem skydive. This is a once in a lifetime experience that you won't be forgetting in a hurry! Tandem skydiving is a popular choice for adrenaline junkies or anyone doing a sponsored jump for charity. Just imagine the thrill of falling at speeds in the order of 120-180 mph! Upon arrival, you will check in. This usually take around 2
- 3 minutes per participant, this will then be followed by documentation, orientation & training. During this time you will watch a 15 minute video which will give an insight into the fun ahead. On completion of training each instructor can, given good weather, take participants on Tandem Skydives at a rate of 1 participant per each remaining hour of the day. According to demand there may be one instructor scheduled mid week, & 2 to 5 on weekends. Participants should set aside a full day to complete their jumps & they, their friends & family should not rule out the possibility that adverse conditions may delay or postpone their jumps so requiring additional attendance at the Centre to jump
- poor weather on the first visit is no guarantee of good weather on subsequent visits. Accordingly plenty of patience is required.A queuing system operates at the Centre with those first to arrive at the head of the queue normally being the first to jump once trained, & conversely those last to arrive at the end of the queue normally being the last to jump. Whilst some participants are being trained opportunities to join the head of the queue (such as the first 2 Tandem slots mid week, or possibly the first 6 on a weekend day) are normally allocated to some who are already trained & are ready to jump or those who perhaps on an earlier date could not jump due to adverse conditions.
