My Daughter and I did the 15,000 ft tandem jump on 15th June and it was everything we expected it to be. The staff were really friendly and they were more like a jump Family. They were so professional at all times but still engaged in friendly banter which made everyone relaxed. Bradders was my jump instructor and Amy was my photographer and they were both lovely people as well as very professional skydivers. My whole experience was out of this world from the interview before the jump to landing . The 60 second freefall was amazing and the adrenalin rush cant be adequately described. Once the canopy is open you get the most amazing view for many many miles. It really is quite breath taking. Im a 63 year old recently retired Man and this is the best Fathers day I have ever had. It was made even better as my 39 year old Daughter jumped with me. A totally amazing experience that I will be doing again with my Daughter who wants to bring along her Sonmy Grandson next time. 3 Generations jumping together.....I cant wait A huge shout out to Bradders and Amy... You guys Rock

Booked as a present for my 60th birthday and also for my daughters 30th. Fairly decent communication before hand and the weather was perfect for our slot 10.00am slot. Checking in was easy and we upgraded to have photovideo well worth it then sat, classroom style, through the checks and instructions. Due to the good weather lots of experience jumpers had arrived and seemed to take priority, pushing our slot back. We finally boarded the plane at around 2.00pm after being strapped into a harness and further checks completed. Ant was my instructor, great guy, full of chat, knowledge and made me feel at ease the whole time. Within around 15 20mins we were at the 14k altitude and after more checks and straps tightened the shutter door was raised and ready for the first jumper. I was 3rd and instructed to slide along the bench seat towards the door and then sit down with legs out of the plane before you know it youre airborne.Now this was the only part that frightened me we plummeted from 14k down to 7k all the while Ant was tapping my shoulder to remind me to open my arms out wide. Id forgot all my training and was holding onto the straps for dear life lol.At 6k the rip cord was pulled and after a heavy opening and severe jolt, we were now floating, rather than plummeting. The views were spectacular with Ant pointing out various places of interest and before you know it its time for landing. Luckily I remembered my training this time and legs tucked up high landing was soft landing and it was over Id skydived from 14k amazing.The experience is a must, but Id never do it again unless I had to lol the only negative and its only a slight one, was my daughter and I had separate jump slots and the long wait for your slot to come round. In total it took around 5 hours plenty time for a nervous jumper to change their mind. Amazing experience
