Learn to Skydive
For those who want to learn to skydive, static line parachuting is perfect. It is also the first step towards becoming a skydiver yourself. This involves you leaving the aircraft at 3,500ft. Your parachute will be attached to the aircraft and automatically deployed by a ‘static line’ as you fall.
You will receive between 6-8 hours of training on the ground prior to this. Once you have completed your training, you will be ready to make your first parachute jump. Our training covers everything you need to know, so you can land safely.
After your first static jump, you can develop your skills even further by doing more jumps from higher altitudes and following our training.
For your quickest route to our centre from Oswestry, follow the A483 and A55 to the M53. Follow the M56 and M6 to Preston and take the exit on junction 33. We are around 15 minutes from the junction. Our postcode is LA2 0DY, which can be entered into your satnav.
To skydive anywhere in the UK, a British Skydiving membership is compulsory.
