  • Enjoy the incredible adrenalin rush of a tandem skydive with this unforgettable experience day.

  • Imagine a wind tunnel that could be used for testing the aerodynamics of an F1 racing car, turn it upright, step into the airflow and you're skydiving! Its a proven concept operating in several countries to the benefit of the skydiving community and anyone else who wishes to taste the thrill of free-fall in a completely safe environment. Now you can experience the joy of human flight by easing yourself onto a 120mph air stream.

    You'll meet the instructors who'll run through all of the fundamental training required before you can - this session is good fun! Instructors will then help you to 'kit-up' in a flight suit, helmet, goggles- then it's on tot the wind tunnel where you'll experience your flight. You will receive two flights of one minute each (that's the same free fall time as 3 tandem skydives). After your flight you'll be presented with a DVD of your flight as well as a flight certificate signed by the instructor.
