If you thought nose diving into a swimming pool was adventurous, try jumping from a plane at 7,500 feet...

We're offering you a 7,5000ft tandem skydive experience for £129, or experience a 10,000ft tandem skydive for just £178, saving you up to 36% off Skydive Academy’s prices.

Based at Shotton Airfield, your high-octane experience will see you jump at 7,500 or 10,000 feet over the stunning Durham countryside. The day will start with a full one-hour safety briefing and training exercise lead by a friendly, experienced jumper. When fully clued up, you will board your light aircraft and take to the skies where you can enjoy a bird’s eye view of some of the UK’s most picturesque landscape. After cruising to the perfect height, you’ll be ready to jump. Strapped in and hooked up to your instructor, you’ll hop from the aircraft and freefall before parachuting up in preparation for the grand landing. Don’t look down!
