Dive into the skies with our 15,000ft Tandem Skydive, the ultimate thrill for adrenaline seekers! This experience is perfect for anyone looking to enjoy the highest skydive available in the UK. With just 20 minutes of instruction, you're ready to embrace the rush of freefall and a scenic canopy ride.
Upon arrival and registration, you will attend a group briefing where all aspects of the jump are explained. Your instructor will then equip you with a jumpsuit, dual harness, and goggles.
The aircraft climb to jump altitude takes under 15 minutes, setting the stage for about a minute of exhilarating freefall, followed by a five-minute canopy descent where you can soak in stunning views of the Lincolnshire Wolds.
Expect to spend 5-6 hours on weekends or 3-4 hours midweek. Arrival times are staggered to reduce wait time, but we don't want you to be in a rush and allow yourself the whole day to enjoy this unique experience, and we need to ensure your jump is timed with the right weather conditions.
Our skydiving centre is nestled in the beautiful countryside of North East Lincolnshire, operating on a historic World War II airfield, providing vast, scenic landing areas and a rich backdrop for your skydiving experience.
Our address is Hibaldstow Airfield, Redbourne Road, Hibaldstow, near Brigg, North Lincolnshire, DN20 9NN.

Skydiving offers a unique sensation unlike anything else. The freefall feels more like floating in water than the stomach-churning drop of a roller-coaster. It's an exhilarating and unforgettable experience, far from frightening and filled with pure adrenaline.
Skydiving at our centre is extremely safe, upheld by rigorous safety protocols. We adhere to the stringent standards set by British Skydiving, and our Chief Instructor is involved in developing safety standards. Each jumper is equipped with both main and reserve parachutes, and all equipment undergoes multiple (4 layers of) checks. Skydiving has far less injuries proportionally compared to other adventure sports such as skiing, snowboarding, white water rafting, rock climbing, etc.
Yes, breathing during freefall is not only possible but also quite natural. Despite the high speeds, the airflow is manageable, and at 15,000ft, oxygen levels are sufficient for comfortable breathing.
This is a very commonly asked question. Answering this is simple, parachutes are designed to open, however, if the main parachute does not open fully or correctly, there is a secondary reserve parachute which acts as a backup. On the Tandem course, your instructor would carry out these emergency procedures.
The reserve parachute is packed by our rigger who is a specialist and is certified to do so. In addition, there is also an Automatic Activation Device (AAD) which will open your reserve parachute at a lower altitude. AAD’s are there to act as a backup to the Tandem instructor.
It's not uncommon to feel apprehensive about heights, but many find skydiving a transformative way to confront and overcome this fear. Our instructors are skilled at providing support and ensuring you feel secure and confident throughout your jump.
Skydiving is dependent on weather conditions. If unsuitable weather prevents jumping, your skydive can be rescheduled within 12 months at no additional cost.
Comfort is key for skydiving. Wear loose, comfortable clothing and flat shoes. High heels, boots with hooks, and slip-on shoes are not suitable. We provide all necessary gear like goggles, headgear, and jumpsuits.
Your scheduled arrival time will be communicated via your confirmation email. Please adhere to this time as jumping is organised within session blocks. Early arrivals are unnecessary.
Morning sessions need to be filled first, but you may express a time preference. We recommend those with long travel distances to consider arriving the night before.
If you manage your asthma well, you can participate in a parachute jump. Please have your British Skydiving Fitness form completed and endorsed by your doctor, and bring it with you on the day of your jump. You may carry your usual medication, including an inhaler in a clothing pocket, on the aircraft. Inform us of your asthma when booking your skydive.
We are committed to making skydiving accessible to everyone, including those with disabilities. Our instructors have successfully guided individuals who are blind, deaf, quadriplegic, paraplegic, suffering from Multiple Sclerosis, or have lost a limb.
If you have a disability, please contact the adventuro team via the live chat. You will be put in contact with the Chief Instructor to discuss your needs. Note that individuals with limited mobility may be subject to a lower weight limit of 75kg.
Phil Smart proves that disabled skydiving is not only possible but enjoyable. He has now completed over 20 tandem skydives. Phil Smart started jumping in 1998 and has done 20 tandems to date. He is paraplegic but this has not stopped him getting the bug for jumping. He has learned how to do 360 degree turns and even do some tracking (forward movement) with his instructor:
“I would describe skydiving as a ride of a lifetime, a real rollercoaster ride. I have done 20 jumps now and it is my ambition to build a large formation of people around me on my next jump.”
