The Experience
Ask anyone who has completed the "
Tandem Skydive in Oxfordshire" and their reply will be: Just Do It !
Imagine freefalling at 120mph, even falling past or through clouds, its just like flying! When the canopy opens you may be allowed to help with the steering and landing, all under the guidance of your tandem master or just simply enjoy the beautiful scenery.
You will jump from up to 13,500 feet attached to your instructor using a specially designed dual harness. The instructor controls the freefall, parachute opening and landing, leaving you free to enjoy the view and the sensation of freefall. You will be able to help the instructor to steer the parachute after opening.
