Where to skydive? Cornwall has to be top of the list in the UK surely? With the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the English Channel on the other, pluck up the courage to do a tandem skydive in Cornwall and you'll be treated to amazing coastal views. This is skydiving Cornish style and it all happens at Perranporth Airport between St Agnes and Newquay.
We are offering vouchers for tandem skydives out of Perranporth. That's the one where you are harnessed together with an instructor and there's no long training session before you go, just a clear and concise safety briefing.
You're sure to get incredible views as you sit in the crew plane for the nerve-wracking 20 minute flight to your jump altitude. Maybe the wonderful aerial panoramas of the blue, blue sea and the beaches will calm your nerves? Or maybe you'll prefer not to look and just listen to the words of encouragement from your skydiving instructor instead?
After exiting the plane at 10,000ft, lap up your 10 seconds of absolute freefall, before the parachute is deployed and you float gently back down to earth, admiring those panoramas above Perranporth as you go.
As if the location wasn't stunning enough already, this Cornish parachute school secured the right to use the beach as an actual active drop zone in 2015 - how mad is that? What's more, it's the only beach DZ (that's skydiver lingo for drop zone) in the whole country. That privilege is only reserved for skilled solo jumpers though, so you will be landing on the clifftop drop zone.
And what we love most about this skydive school in Cornwall (apart from the setting!) is the fact that it is a family run concern, with instructors who have clocked up in excess of 22,000 jumps - including being the first trio to jump Everest! Time to book your skydive slot at Perranporth.
