A tandem skydive is the easiest and most popular of all skydives. It requires only 30 minutes of training before you then jump strapped to your instructor! The BPA (British Parachute Association) qualified tandem instructor does all of the hard work for you, allowing you to enjoy the exhilarating feeling of flying through the clouds from over 10,000 feet at up to 120 mph! It is a truly unforgettable experience.
Up to 18 stone. A surcharge of £10 will apply for every stone over 15 stone.
You are welcome to bring along supporters and recommend that they arrive about an hour after your arrival time – this would give you time to have your training and get kitted up.

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!
When you join #TeamDEBRA, you'll be supported in the run up to your jump with:
Providing care and support to individuals and families affected by Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB).
DEBRA is the national charity that supports individuals and families affected by Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) – a painful genetic skin blistering condition which, in the worst cases, can be fatal. Debra funds pioneering research and provides care and support to individuals and families living with EB.
The minimum age is 16, however anyone aged 16 or 17 would need to have a parental consent form on the day of their jump.
Please note that some airfields also have an upper age limit.

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
