Tandem skydiving can be the start of your path to becoming a licensed skydiver, a one off experience for thrill seekers or a great way to raise money for a charity close to your heart. No matter your reason to jump with us, we’ll make sure to look after you every step of the way.
Join us for the highest skydive in the UK from 15,000 feet and free fall at 120mph before deploying your parachute and gently descending for a soft touchdown in front of friends and family. Our staff will be there with you from start to finish and train you to the highest levels of safety to ensure you feel looked after from arrival to departure.
We also offer camera packages so that you can treasure the memories you make with Sky High.

Learn To Skydive

AFF is a full training course designed to take you from someone with feet firmly planted on the ground to skydiver in just 8 jumps. In the classroom you’ll learn all about how to stay stable in freefall, how to open and control your parachute, how to land, and everything you need to know to stay safe.
Next you’ll take to the skies with not one but two instructors. As you progress, it’ll become one instructor and then soon you’ll be jumping on your own. From jump one, you’ll steer and land your own parachute, with radio help if needed.
As your confidence increases, you’ll learn how to turn and stop, move across the sky and even do backflips in freefall. Finish the course with a big high five and a free t shirt (and beer!) then the fun begins and you’ve joined the sky family.
