About the experience

Product ID: 15450

Are you ready to experience the thrill of skydiving just 10 miles from Durham’s city centre? This small and friendly skydive centre offers an incredible opportunity for your first tandem jump at 7,000 feet. Located at Shotton Airfield, on the edge of Peterlee, our skydiving school is the only one in the entire northeast and is known for its top-notch facilities. Join hundreds of aspiring skydivers from Durham and beyond who are eager to take the leap with us. Upon arrival, our experienced skydive team will guide you through a 90-minute orientation and training program to ensure your safety and confidence in the air. Then, you'll board our Grand Caravan aircraft and feel the anticipation build as the plane climbs to altitude. Attached to your tandem instructor, you'll be on the edge of the aircraft in no time, ready to experience the breathtaking freefall over the stunning Durham countryside. Weather permitting, they offer skydiving on midweek and weekend/bank holiday dates from mid-February to the third weekend in November. Most tandem jumpers can train and jump on the same day. As an added bonus, our skydiving school offers free overnight camping and caravanning on the airfield.

What an amazing experience it was cant wait to do it again but maybe higher next time

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
