Your First Jump
Decided you would like to do a skydive? Great! You're in the right place.
There are two options for your first jump; a solo jump or a tandem. A solo jump requires a longer amount of training but will allow you to jump by yourself and progress within the sport. A tandem requires a very short amount of training and will allow you to go to a higher altitude as the instructor (who will be attached to your back) will manage all the technical aspects of the jump.
Neither of these options is 'better' than the other, as it depends on what you would like to get out of your jump. For one-off experiences and charity jumps, we recommend you do a tandem. For one-off solo jumps or if you wish to progress within the sport we recommend the Category System course.
Solo Jumps
Learn how to do skydive by yourself.
The Category System course will teach you everything you need to know to do your first jump solo.
​
What's involved?
Take part in a full days training and gain the skills and knowledge required to go it alone! You will be talked back down to the ground by an experienced instructor (through a radio in your helmet). You are not required to pull a cord (the plane does this for you via a static-line cord). You just have to focus on exiting the aircraft.

Tandem Jumps
Great for one-off or charity jumps.​
​
An instructor will take care of everything - you just have to lean back and relax!
​
What's involved?​
Take part in a 30-40 minute training session on the day of your jump and let the instructor take care of everything for you! An instructor will be strapped to your back and will manage all aspects of deployment, canopy handling and landing back on the ground! Lean back and enjoy.
