"120mph, gravity fed, air cooled adventure!"


 

What is a tandem

 

      skydive?      

A tandem skydive is a jump from an airplane done where the tandem instructor is attached behind you, by four points of attachments.

It is the perfect introduction to the sport.

The instructor is the pilot in command.

This type of jump is suited for everybody, provided you are 18 years of age and within the weight limit.

We also accommodate vision impaired, hearing impaired, paraplegics and quadriplegic.

Tandem Skydiving - what's involved?

This is the ultimate thrill, during which you will receive individual step by step instruction from a qualified parachute instructor throughout the jump. This means that the ground training phase (which is not physically demanding) can be completed in under an hour. Following the ground training you will board the aircraft and climb to a height of 10,000 feet (nearly two miles high). This will take around 20 minutes and provide panoramic views of the Norfolk countryside. You will then exit the aircraft, harnessed securely to your instructor, and experience the thrill of freefall for up to 40 seconds during which time you will fall for one mile reaching speeds of 120 mph. At 5000 feet (still a mile high) the instructor will open the high performance gliding parachute. If you wish, you can take control of the parachute under the guidance of your instructor, or simply enjoy the five minute ride down and let your instructor fly you back to the landing area. Landings are usually soft and generally accomplished without even falling over.
