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 a skydive in the UK from 14,000 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.
A taster skydive from 7,000 feet giving 15 seconds of freefall followed by a parachute ride safely to the ground. This is ideal for those who are looking for a thrill but on a tight budget. Don’t forget, you can always upgrade on the day if you decide you want more!
Go high or go home right? From 14,000 feet, you’ll fall for 50 seconds at 120mph before your instructor opens your parachute. Ideal for anyone wanting as much freefall as possible and the ultimate adrenalin rush.
With our video and photo packages, you can relive your experience for years to come. Simply choose your package during the booking process or contact us to add to an existing booking.

The thrill! The excitement! The personal challenge!
It takes great courage to jump out of a plane from 15,000ft. Some people do it to raise money for charity, others do it for a pure rush which you can’t find anywhere else. One thing is for certain, everybody wants to go again.
The weight limit for tandem skydiving at Sky High is (fully clothed) 94kg for women, and 98Kg for men. After 94kg and 98kg respectively, we are able to cater for skydivers upto a weight of 110kg, following an on the day assessment, a £35 fee which will be applied to your booking should you fall into this category.
Your height and weight should be in proportion.
Larger students may be taken on other solo skydiving courses but only after assessment.
Tandem skydiving is open to most people, including those with some disabilities. We do need you to be able to be physically able to raise your legs for landing.
If you have no pre existing conditions or disabilities, you can sign the relevant form yourself:
If you have any current or former disabilities or health conditions, you’ll need to take one of these forms to your doctor prior to your jump day. Do not have access to a printer?, let us know and we’ll post one out to you.
We believe skydiving should be accessible to as many people as possible. If you are unsure if it’s suitable for you, or you need any adjustments to help you access our services, please get in touch and we will organise an assessment.
Tandem skydiving has a very low rate of injury, with the most common issue being skydiving students feeling a bit sick or faint. Injuries are possible in any sport, you will be shown in training how to minimise this risk. If you have any questions at all, just ask.
If you have any pre-existing medical conditions or have had any surgery you will need approval from a doctor prior to jumping, and may be assessed prior to training/jumping.
The minimum age to skydive in the UK is 16. Under 18’s MUST have a parent or legal guardian to co-sign their forms, this can be done on the day or in advance.
There is no upper age limit at all for tandem jumps, our oldest jumper was in his 90s.
We’re dedicated to getting as many people in the air as possible, so please give us a call on 0191 517 1234 if you have any questions.
Under British Skydiving rules we can’t let you take your own GoPro until you have 200 jumps. If you’re interested in progressing and jumping with your own camera, check out our AFF courses.
Of course! We have special rates for anyone wanting to get straight back on it on the same day. You can also train with us to be a fully licensed skydiver, read about our AFF course here.
Skydiving is weather dependent and there’s always the chance that skydivers will have to wait a while, or even come back another day.
All our skydives are non refundable, but there is no charge or penalty to reschedule due to weather. We do ask that skydivers are prepared to turn up and wait for suitable conditions, as forecasts aren’t always accurate.
