It is a truly unforgettable experience.

On the day

  • 08:00-09:00 | Usual arrival time followed by 30 minutes of training.

Jumps are weather dependent, so it's not usually possible to specify a jump time prior to the day.

You will receive an arrival time once you are confirmed with the airfield – this is when you will check in and receive your training for the jump. The jump time would depend on the weather and how many other people are booked in that day. There is a small chance you could wait all day until you jump. The airfields do operate a first come first served basis – so the earlier you arrive the earlier you will jump!

  • Equipment
  • Guides

When you join #TeamDEBRA, you'll be supported in the run up to your jump with:

  • Ideas and materials to help reach your fundraising target
  • DEBRA t-shirt to wear with pride before the challenge and on jump day itself

  • Fundraising support
  • Fundraising required
  • Fundraising materials
  • Submit fundraising up to 1 month after event

I did a Tandem Skydive to raise money... What an amazing experience. Emily

What a truly amazing day, the feeling of falling though the air is like nothing I have ever experienced before in my life. My instructor was great - made me feel very relaxed. Cheryl

It was an absolutely brilliant experience, probably the best thing I've ever done, I couldn't stop smiling afterwards! Caitlin

My husband and I both did our tandem skydives .. to raise funds. Words just can not express the amazing buzz you get from leaping out a plane and falling through the sky at 120mph! Absolutely AWESOME!! Huge thanks to our amazing instructors who made our day an unforgettably brilliant experience! Gina and Sean

I have always been terrified of heights but thought that doing it for charity would be worth it. The whole experience was amazing and the view was breath taking! I would recommend skydiving to anyone who is thinking of doing it. Katie

The view, when the parachute went up, was absolutely breathtaking. Rebekah
