Tandem Skydive in Northamptonshire

Falling at 200 metres per second, you'll plunge earthward from the skies, strapped to a fully qualified skydiving instructor who'll be in charge of deploying the parachute and ensuring a safe landing on solid ground. It's such an adrenaline rush to falling seven thousand feet through the air, after which your instructor will guide you down for a smooth landing. This Tandem Skydive is a thrilling experience that you'll never forget.

The day will consist of a short pre-jump briefing and you'll be provided with a skydivers jump suit to go over your clothes (you should wear comfortable clothing e.g. tracksuit and trainers). Then you'll be fitted with a tandem parachute harness (along with appropriate headgear and goggles), the jump plane will then take around 20-25 minutes to reach the necessary altitude - you'll then be jumping into the blue skies! - A.D.
