Jump for ELF - 15,000 feet up!
ELF has teamed up with Sky Dive UK at Dunkerswell, to offer you the chance to skydive from 15000ft.
Tandem is an easy and enjoyable way to experience the thrills of skydiving without having to learn how. The exhilarating freefall combined with the peace and tranquillity of the parachute ride makes Tandem Skydiving a unique experience you will never forget.
What happens on the day?
After a short briefing on arrival at the Airfield, your qualified Instructor will gear you up and together you will make your way out to the aircraft. Once on board, you will be securely harnessed to your Instructor and the flight will begin to your designated exit height. Enjoy the views on ascent as you will be able to see the three coastlines of South Devon, North Devon and across the Bristol Channel to South Wales, making our drop zone one of the most scenic in the country.
Once at altitude, the door will open and your ears will be filled with the rush of air and engine noise. You will feel the indescribable anticipation as your Instructor edges you towards the open door. Then, with your heart pumping and the view of distant fields below you, it’s off into freefall. Feel the adrenalin rush over you as you accelerate to 120mph and freefall up to 2 miles, before your Instructor deploys the parachute.
As the large square canopy unfolds above your head, you will become aware of the sudden peace and quiet of the parachute ride. You will be able to take the controls and help your Instructor steer the parachute around the sky before he takes full control for the descent to the landing area.
After your feet have touched the ground, you will feel the natural high that only Skydiving can bring!
