Skydiving over Newcastle

Take off from the skies and experience the action-packed feeling of freefalling from 15,000 ft. Meet your expert skydiving support team, who will guide you through the safety procedures and answer any questions you may have about your jump. Once you’re all fitted up in your gear, follow your tandem jumpmaster, enter the specially-outfitted plane, and leap out of the door! The wind whips through your hair as breathtaking panoramic views, unlike anything you've ever seen unfold beneath you.

Maximum safety

Experienced jumpmasters will guide you through every step, from the pre-jump jitters to the exhilarating freefall. Feel the weightlessness as you soar through the air, then experience the smooth parachute ride down, where you can take in the sights at your leisure. Leave your worries on the ground – the Automatic Activation Device (AAD) ensures your parachute deploys at a safe altitude. All you have to do is focus on the insane view (or scream with joy). Capture every moment of your skydiving odyssey with high-quality photos and videos. It'll be a conversation starter for weeks and a visual masterpiece you'll treasure forever.
