Many Airkix flyers come out of the tunnel and say "I reckon I could do the real thing now ". Well this is how.

Skydive Airkix

We have some great relationships with some of the UK's premier Drop Zones (and even helped run one for a while)!

If you would like to make a jump, see below for a few choice contacts.

Your first jump

There are two basic ways to get into skydiving;

Tandem jump - similar to a dual control aeroplane flight where you are with an instructor but involved all the way.

AFF (accelerated Freefall) - an intensive course of a minimum of eight jumps from approximately 13,000 feet, that's about 5-6 minutes of freefall. Initially you will be between two instructors but you'll be in charge with them as a backup.

Since the introduction of wind tunnels, it's now possible to progress through AFF much faster and more efficiently. Whilst it is possible to do the course in 8 jumps, without wind tunnel training there is normally a repeat jump or two which is far more costly that the tunnel training.

Because we have many skydivers on our staff, we can help prepare for your AFF course and will even add a couple of extra flights for free if you are booked up already in the UK.
