Skydiving: Book your tandem skydive

We've teamed up with Skyline Parachuting, one of the UK's largest skydive organisers, who will coordinate your jump and make sure you’re fully prepared in the run up.

On the day of the jump and arrival at the airfield, you’ll spend time with a professional trainer until you are ready to take the next step. Once you’re up in the air and harnessed to your parachute instructor, you will skydive from 10,000 feet, free falling for several thousand feet before deploying the parachute at 5,000 feet. You'll then glide under the canopy before your instructor steers you safely to the ground.

To sign up, you need to pay a £70 (non-refundable) registration fee to our skydive provider, Skyline, and we’ll ask you to commit to fundraise a minimum of £550 in sponsorship.

We ask that 80 per cent of your fundraising (£440) is sent to us at least two weeks before your dive and the remaining 20 per cent (£110) is with us six weeks after your jump.

Your registration fee covers 30 per cent of your skydive cost, and the rest is paid from your fundraising. The rest of your fundraising will go directly to supporting people with sight loss.

We recommend fundraising online through www.justgiving.com, it’s quick, easy and secure and all the money you raise comes directly to us without you having to send it in. If you choose to fundraise offline, you need to make sure all of your sponsorship is with us at least two weeks before your jump.

No. You will not be able to recoup the cost of your registration fee, as this goes towards paying for the cost of your jump. As a charity, we need to cover all of the costs, whilst making a reasonable profit to help RNIB continue supporting people with sight loss.

Yes, you can, and we welcome this option if you can afford it. This means every penny you fundraise comes straight to RNIB. It costs RNIB approximately £230 per skydive. If you would like to do this, or have already paid for your jump, please contact the RNIB Events team.

The easiest way to book is by following the link above. If you require a paper copy of the registration form, please contact the RNIB Events team.

If you can't make it to one of the airfields listed, let us know and we can arrange for you to take part at one of nine other airfield sites across the UK: Auchterarder, Errol, Bridlington, Lancaster, Norwich, Brackley, Salisbury, Old Sarrum, and Cornwall.

You must be at least 16 years old to take part and if you’re between the ages of 16 and 18, you’ll need permission from a parent or guardian. There’s no upper age limit. Most airfields require jumpers to be under 15 stone in weight, but this can be lower or higher depending on the airfield. All restrictions will be identified when you register with our Skydive organiser Skyline.

You will be required to sign a medical form before jumping to declare your fitness to take part. There are some restrictions in relation to medical conditions like diabetes, epilepsy, fits, recurrent blackouts, heart or lung disease, mental illness, and some cases of asthma. Full details will be stated on the registration form when you sign up and if you have any of the medical conditions stated, you will need to have your medical form signed by your doctor.

If you are a UK resident, you will automatically be covered for up to £2,000,000 third party insurance, but this will not cover you for any personal injury. If you wish to take out personal injury cover, you will need to arrange this yourself.

Of course! Most airfields have a professional camera operator or cameras available to capture your big jump. There will be additional cost for this which you’ll have to pay yourself on the day of your jump.
