A tandem skydive suits two types of individuals. The first is someone who is not sure whether skydiving is for them, the second is when it will be a one off jump either for charity or just for their own personal experience. In either case the skydive can be professionally videoed, which normally includes 18 still photographs, so that you will always have something to look back on and show your family and friends. If after your first freefall you do decide that skydiving is for you, then Ace Skydiving will give it's customers discounts on any further.

You can sit back and enjoy the ride, as you will be attached to a fully qualified tandem instructor, and after a full briefing, you will be kitted up in a special harness and lead to the aircraft. Once inside the aircraft the special harness will be connected to the instructor, and the plane ride will take around 20-30 minutes to an altitude of approx 13,000ft or 2.5 miles up. The instructor will be with you at all times, especially when you leave the aircraft and during your 50 second freefall. Once the parachute has been deployed, you can now talk to your instructor again who may give you the option to briefly steer the parachute on your 3-4min descent.courses taken.
