What Can I Expect

Go skydiving at Beccles Airfield and be one of over 10,000 budding skydivers who jump at this renowned drop zone on the Norfolk/Suffolk border every single year!

The team at Beccles is amazing. Owners Jason Thompson and Grant Richards have done many thousands of jumps between them and are both ex military parachutists. We are offering vouchers for tandem jumps from 7,000 ft and 13,000 ft.

The aim of the sky diving game here is to be professional, whilst being approachable and friendly at the same time, putting you at ease throughout your experience - especially when (for most of you) it's your first foray into that freefall feeling.

Being based at Beccles, this skydive school makes the most of the fact that there are no altitude limits, and no air traffic control restrictions around the drop zone area. And all that, of course, makes it the perfect skydiving location in the Norfolk/Suffolk area!

After a short ground training session, you'll be strapped into a harness with your instructor attached and ready in the plane for take off.

You will be exiting from 7,000 ft or a whopping 13,000 ft above the ground. You'll experience that amazing freefalling, before the parachute is opened and then your canopy ride back down to the drop zone for the calm after the rush.

And when you land you'll feel amazing. The sensation of freefalling is pretty indescribable. And in fact, many 'tandemers' can barely speak at first. But when you do gather your thoughts, you're bound to have a huge grin on your face, as you thank your instructor and ask when you can go up and do it all over again in those clear Norfolk skies! You're sure to have an incredible skydiving experience out of Beccles.
