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, Sky-High Skydiving 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 60 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
15,000ft.
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 60 seconds of free fall, before the instructor deploys the
parachute and you start around 6-7 minutes of parachuting back to
ground level.
