"Great experience at Beccles. All staff were fantastic from start to finish! Very friendly and welcoming. The skydivers were chatty and my teens had a giggle with them, it completely put them at ease."

"What an amazing experience!
My tandem was with Adam who was so nice and made sure I was comfortable and happy with all of the instructions. Whilst we were in the air he was really encouraging and really made my experience."

The best way to experience our sport on your very first jump is with a Tandem Skydive.
Following a short pre-jump briefing, you will enjoy the thrill of free fall and even learn the basics of steering and landing a modern ‘square’ gliding parachute, while securely attached to a highly experienced instructor. All you need to do is smile and enjoy your skydive.
On the day of your skydive your tandem instructor will explain in detail what you have to do and what will take place during the flight up, the free fall descent and the ride down under the parachute. This briefing normally takes around 20 minutes.
You should wear comfortable clothing, such as a track suit, and a pair of trainers. After fitting the tandem parachute harness (and appropriate headgear and goggles) you are ready to board the plane for the 15 minute ascent.
Then it’s one glorious leap out into the blue!

Can I skydive while pregnant?
You are not allowed to tandem skydive if you are pregnant. If you fall pregnant after you have made your booking, you can postpone your tandem skydive 6 months after your due date.
Are there any physical requirements or weight limits?
You are required to lift your legs up in front of you to avoid injury to yourself and your instructor on landing. You must have the strength, flexibility and limb control to achieve this. We have BMI restrictions in place to ensure this is achievable. The maximum permitted is 39.0. If you have any chronic health issues you must obtain a Doctor’s Certificate before jumping. If you have limited mobility or limb control, we may well be able to take you skydiving! Get in contact to organise an assessment with our Chief Instructor.
Is there an age limit?
Young and old can participate in Skydiving as long as you are physically fit and healthy. We have a minimum age limit of 16 years old. No maximum age limit, although the elderly need to be healthy and physically able to perform a Skydive.
What if the weather is bad on the day of my jump?
Skydiving is weather dependent, and safety is our first priority. We will assess weather conditions on the day and our safety officer will make the call on whether it is safe to jump or not. If you cannot skydive due to weather conditions, we will reschedule you for another date of your choosing.
Can I skydive if I have a disability?
We have taken many people with disabilities and you should be able to Skydive with almost any disability. You would need to consult with your doctor first and our safety officer on the Drop Zone will decide if you can Skydive safely or not.
Will I be scared?
It's part of our human nature to be wary of the unknown, so you will definitely feel a feeling of excited anticipation before your jump. This is a perfectly normal part of the skydiving experience. Our experienced tandem masters will put you at ease and during your jump you will feel a thrill that is indescribable. Enjoy your jump!
We understand that skydiving can be daunting. That's why we're here to answer all your questions and put your mind at ease.
