What Can I Expect
Go for our Headcorn skydive experience - it'll be the adventure of a lifetime! This renowned centre for skydiving, established in Kent in 1979, has already allowed over 70,000 people to realise their dream of a tandem skydive over Headcorn and the breathtaking Kentish countryside. You could be next!
Take that first leap into the unknown from heights of up to 12,000ft, strapped securely to your BPA (British Parachute Association) qualified instructor; then freefall in a wild rush of exhilaration before your parachute is deployed at 5,000ft and lets you go soaring, gliding and even steering your own way gently earthwards, taking in the awe-inspiring 'Garden of Kent' landscape below.
Situated at Headcorn Airfield, this skydive experience will give you all the adrenaline rushes you could ever wish for. This full day skydiving package in Kent allows you to appreciate the full beauty of the south-eastern countryside from a whole new perspective. In addition, not only does the centre have many years of experience in performing tandem and solo skydives, but Headcorn enjoys some of the best skydiving conditions in the UK, meaning you'll get the best possible experience, whatever the time of year.
Upon arrival, you'll have a short briefing session before meeting your instructor, who'll explain the full details of your individual skydive. All the instructors are BPA skydiving accredited, so you can be sure you're in safe hands for the entire day.
Also, you can opt for a professional freefall photographer to accompany you on your skydive, capturing all the best moments of your daring display to create a lasting memory to take home and cherish.
