Overview
Why buy from us?
Are you ready to experience the thrill of skydiving just 10 miles from Durham’s city centre? This small and friendly skydive centre offers an incredible opportunity for your first tandem jump at 7,000 feet. Located at Shotton Airfield, on the edge of Peterlee, our skydiving school is the only one in the entire northeast and is known for its top-notch facilities. Join hundreds of aspiring skydivers from Durham and beyond who are eager to take the leap with us. Upon arrival, our experienced skydive team will guide you through a 90-minute orientation and training program to ensure your safety and confidence in the air. Then, you'll board our Grand Caravan aircraft and feel the anticipation build as the plane climbs to altitude. Attached to your tandem instructor, you'll be on the edge of the aircraft in no time, ready to experience the breathtaking freefall over the stunning Durham countryside. Weather permitting, they offer skydiving on midweek and weekend/bank holiday dates from mid-February to the third weekend in November. Most tandem jumpers can train and jump on the same day. As an added bonus, our skydiving school offers free overnight camping and caravanning on the airfield.
