How about a sky dive?
Experience the thrill of freefall and reach a speed of around 120 miles per hour, as you exit the aircraft, securely attached to your Instructor, you will experience a thrill like no other.
At 6,000 feet the Tandem Instructor will open the canopy, enabling you take in the wonderful bird’s eye view of the glorious North Irish Coast under a large parachute for a peaceful seven minute ride back to earth.
The Tandem Instructor will guide the canopy back down, but you can be hands on if you wish and help steer the parachute.
We ask you to pay a non-refundable registration fee of £50 + £35 insurance fee and pledge to raise a minimum of £450 for your nominated branch or centre.
