Durham Tandem Skydive Experience


Skydiving Experience Days: A Durham tandem skydive offers an unbeatable combination of adrenaline pumping fun and picturesque countryside beauty, that allows you to cross a BIG one off the bucket list - and in serious style! As one of the closest airfields to Newcastle, Sunderland, Middlesbrough and Gateshead, Skydive Academy is perfectly placed to offer some truly incredible views of the North East - along with some breathtaking thrills as you plummet back to earth at 120mph! With 40 seconds of free fall and around 6-7 minutes of open canopied parachuting back to earth, Durham skydiving is one of the North East's best way to combine high octane thrills with a completely unrivalled scenic tour!Your tandem skydive in Durham will begin with a registration session at Shotton Airfield reception, where you can ask questions and sign the documents. Then, you'll begin the theory with a video brief and a practical demonstration on the mats - learning where to tuck your limbs and head throughout the jump. Once fully theorised, you'll don the safety equipment and make your way to the runway to be strapped to the instructor - before climbing into the back of the Turbine Cessna Grand Caravan - ready to fly up to a jump height of 12,500ft. Once up there, the first skydiving instructor will open the hatch and begin the first of the jumps! Sat between the legs of your instructor, you'll await your turn to shuffle up to the open hatch where you can dangle your legs, take a good look at the picturesque countryside below - and make the most extreme journey back to earth! On the instructor's call, you'll roll forward and begin 40 seconds of free fall, before the instructor deploys the parachute and you start around 6-7 minutes of parachuting back to ground level.
